Bromance e innamoramenti

5 stars

Content warning Spoiler minori

Sono tentato di dare il massimo dei voti perché onestamente mi è piaciuto davvero tanto: la struttura episcolare, la caratterizzazione dei personaggi, le location variegate (io pensavo si svolgesse nel castello e basta),… Però. Nel 2023, fa un po' strano credere che tutti i personaggi si innamorino della stessa donna, e soprattutto il rapporto di bromance che nasce tra i quattro-cinque protagonisti pare una versione gotica-horror di Friends.

Tuttavia il romanzo è ultra-piacevole, scorre via nonostante la sua mole, e i protagonisti sono entrati nella Storia letteraria. Massimo dei voti e posto assicurato sulla libreria: un classico. 🦇🖤

EDIT: ho scoperto che si possono dare le "mezze stelle" su Lore! Allora 4 e 1/2 sia.

Review of Dracula

Dracula was actually quite nice to read. At first, the story advanced quite slowly in my opinion, but towards the middle it became faster. Sometimes the story haunted me in the night, but fortunately this was not that bad and it never lasted long.
