I am entranced with the writing style of this story. The prose is lush, poetic, and evocative.
The story was... a bit disjointed for me. I was compelled by both women's story, and was on board for the meeting of these stories. Except that didn't totally happen. We get vampiric history, which is intriguing if a bit flat a as far as charact depth goes, and then we're learning about a completely different person's history. And it's rich with emotionally heavy hitting themes. That connect almost not at all to the vampire story being told. And as the story blends back to being vampiric... it sort ends. Poetically to be sure. But without anything having happened!
