Negative Positive
Title: Argh.
Review: Let me just get the nitpicky stuff out of the way first: Lucy Westenra, not Lucy Westerna. Silly things like this (aka lack of attention to detail)are irritating & the author should have caught it.More seriously, though, Marie Kiraly has taken an interesting story, with real questions about race, ethnicity and the changing world of industrial Europe (not to mention a great villain in Dracula), and changed it into a whiny, uninteresting story of adultery. She took chracters that had substance in Stoker's hands and destroyed them. Ultimately, I found that the story was not worth the time it took to slog through it.
Is the review positive or negative?
