yeah, i see giving this book a 3... it meanders so much in a moment and takes forever; talk about unrealistic dialogues

bro can't give mina any other place than 'the lady that worries for her husband and finds these men refuge' or how he just elongates such simple menial tasks. not hating, i just kinda am at peace with how he writes; which isn't bad or wtv, it's just more wordy than needed. pta for his time

i mean, bram has been teasing mina being pale, so i'm glad it turned out this way, narratively speaking. must be horrifying drinking your own blood. i am so sat for this cunt to die!

as much as i appreciate Bram writing a woman into the story, she's the most 1 dimensional one to every exist omfg

seward using the phonograph to record his diary was me trying it one time and then continued writing bc i hated how i sound

the theories van helsing is spitting was so absurd as to the closing of the chapter but i love how he incorporated concepts and tells Seward, then seward goes WHAT THE FCUK ????

ok wow that wasn't the twist i saw coming... this shit is actually heartbreaking. lucy didn't even have a chance at marrying :/ poor dear.

what else is there to say? i love the pacing, esp how the focus is on Lucy and her being the victim of dracula (w/o the doctors knowing) and while we do get updated on jonathan, it was just a little .

now i'm more in the groove of how several characters are; and what Nosferatu makes as their protagonist... just literally changing the name and voila 🤷🏻‍♀️ but i do like how in here, Lucy isn't the main, but Nosferatu is literally centred ard Ellen (Lucy) or how Jonathan in here, is essentially Thomas in Nosferatu. pretty excited to read, regardless of some tropes

okay maybe i was a little hateful... Mina's Journal or even Doctor Seward Diary; personalised and individualistic. it's just when he has 2 lady characters talking is when Bram fails.
