3.5

The first section of the story is paced quite fast and is really interesting as it leads you wanting find out what’s going to happen but after it switches from Jonathan’s first encounter with Count my main issue with the novel occurs, the pacing. Some chapters and character entries drag and feel like they aren’t necessary. I feel like the novel could’ve been cut at least 50 ish pages. Despite these criticisms, most of the story built a sense of anticipation excitedly. The characters are pretty loveable and are surprisingly really sweet with one another, which was an unexpected delight.
