The first third of this novel with Harker in Transylvania was very engaging. Once the plot took a right turn and got bogged down with all the Lucy Westernra “who should I marry” drama I checked out big time. It rebounded a bit but I'd still lost interest. I felt like this book had too many characters. Like all the suitors, I don't even know why all of them were relevant. Just have one dude. You need Van Helsing, absolutely. You need Mina Harker, sure. But all those other random dudes, I feel like they muddled the plot. The zookeeper's cockney accent annoyed me.

I'm the worst book reviewer.
