It is a very old book, so the treatment of its female characters were... interesting. Definetly don't expect some Mulan type of badass female characters, because those poor women weren't allowed to do so, but expect to love them none the less!
It's definetly not a very scary story, but a fun one to read, and I can definetly recommend for others who want to read the classics like me <3
Morris was cleeeaaarlyyy written by a man who has never met an American in his life, but the human manifestation of Texas was a fun character, and I was so sad when he died :(
One thing I'm not sure about are the Romani, the romanians, and the hebrew character... I AM WHITE, SO I HAVE NO WORD IN SAYING IF THEY'RE APPROPRIATE OR NOT, but I got some feelings, so definetly check up on that before reading, just in case <3

Overall I did enjoy Dracula and I’m glad I finally sat down and read it. It’s certainly not without its flaws but I think it’s worth reading if you haven’t already.
“The last I saw of Count Dracula was his kissing his hand to me, with a red light of triumph in his eyes, and with a smile that Judas in hell might be proud of.”

-Moderate Racial slurs: the word "g*psy" is used multiple times throughout the novel -Moderate Sexism: There is no sexism encountered by the characters in the universe of the story, but the narration and word choices of the author are dated and express antiquated opinions on gender roles and gendered expectations throughout the novel
