thekaylajan 's review for:

Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
3.25
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I would love to read a version of this that’s written in current English. This being written in old English drags a little bit at times, in a not-satisfyingly-suspenseful way. 

Other than that, great! I like the two lead characters. I like the queer undertones. I like the gothic romance. I like the author’s tone. I specifically read the version of this that’s edited by Carmen Maria Machado, so I enjoyed those footnotes as well.
