A cozy calm winter read, great for background while doing other things. Only problem is it makes me want to bustle around in the snow shopping for xmas gifts and hosting parties when I'm stuck at work. The end was fine and covered all the thematic bases, but I wanted one more chapter of festivities, which I was surprised by given how long and slow the rest of the book was.

Not sure what's going on w the accent in the audiobook; don't remember having any opinions about the narrator when she read Dracula but the accent in this book is inconsistent and ends of words tend to drop away. And despite Sam being noted to have an American accent by other characters, he sounds just like the rest of them. The Scottish ones were fun to listen to though.
