I like it! More entertaining than the original ofc. Tbh I'd love more, what their life looks like now... we can assume the couple in the end is the same but I'd love more about them.

i read this immediately after i read "carmilla", and i honestly think i liked them both about the same amount. i really liked simper's take on the original text, and love how closely she followed it. while i might not necessarily agree with certain changes (and that's like 2, btw. as i said, i REALLY liked this book), i still think it's probably the best retelling i have ever read.
the prose was especially beautiful. im simply in love with the writing. although, at times, certain phrases did feel repetitive. and i wasn't necessarily a fan of prologue and epilogue being set in our times, although it does feel hopeful to see carmilla and laura be part of a world that accepts them <3
