I enjoyed this book--it's not a new favourite but it was solid. I'm happy to learn Dracula lore and was surprised to find he was more of an off-page presence than an on-screen baddie. It really worked to heighten the gothic vibes. Despite the action scenes he felt more a metaphor of illness. Interesting, too, that all his victims were beautiful women.
Surprising little hostile misogyny with Mina Harker being a standout well-rounded character and consequently the male characters around her were heightened by association. The Renfield sections were easily my least favourite despite the fact it served structural purpose.
Amused at miyself that I was surprised to find all the stereotypical vampire things on display when this is quintessential vampire 101.
Good book, good fall vibes, and a new favourite character in Mina Harker.
