Beautifully written! I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator (Abby Craden).
"A lyrical and dreamy reimagining of Dracula's brides" is accurate, as it read like a love letter. When I started the book I described it to someone as "vampire poetry", to put it simply. It was beautiful following along with Constanta as she falls in love, then feeling the heartbreak with her as she realizes the abusive, toxic relationship she is in. A very healing read coming out of the cold, dark winter months.
