- Embarassingly, I've never read the original DRACULA, but I'm a big fan of JANE EYRE and any and all retellings, and I blew through RELUCTANT IMMORTALS in one sitting.
- I loved the reimagining of Bertha and Lucy as the main characters, trying to take control of their narratives even when trapped. And (MILD SPOILER) Mr. Rochester as cult leader is completely inspired.
- I didn't think all of the magical elements made total sense, but I was held in such suspense by the rest of the story that it didn't really matter. Pick this one up if you're in the mood for something weird, dark, funny, and unexpected.
