Took me a while to get into but I thought it was great a couple of chapters in.
I really enjoyed discovering the history of Vlad and the legend of Dracula, the locations of the research making stories click together. The story also linksthe legend of St George with Dracula -the dragon- which was a lovely touch although afaik the timelines are many years apart .
The story is told through a collection of letters and research, and set in several libraries. Is this dark academia?
By the very end, the depth of the title became apparent. Very satisfying 👏

This was a truly epic story. I loved everything about it. It was well paced with detailed writing. Wow. The only reason I docked it .5 was because it really is a super long book. Took me a while to get through, but with that said, completely worth it.
