Quincey Morris was really there just to be rejected, shoot a window pane and die.

I liked the first third a lot, especially Jonathan's commentary on Dracula scaling the walls of his castle. Where it started to get lengthy for me was when Lucy was "taken care of" and Arthur was practically reduced to being the moneybag of the group. That being said however, the ending scene has a nice calm atmosphere and I wish it could have gone on just for a page longer.

I deeply regret that I watched the film (2005) before reading the book. The film is such a treasure as well, but focuses chiefly on the romance – which is just as well – but the book has so much depth and fleshes the characters out so well. I much prefer book Mr. Darcy.

These stories were recommended to me over 10 years ago, but I'm a little relieved that I hadn't gotten my hands on a physical copy sooner. I feel as though I wouldn't have liked them as much back then as I do now.

I love the soothing, calm but strange and sorrowful atmosphere the author crafts. The way the characters talk to eachother is a bit dull sometimes, but that might just be a translation/culture thing.
