lydiahephzibah's review against another edition
2.5
Setting: Austria
Rep: sapphic protagonist
I listened to this on audio and unfortunately didn't like the narrator which probably affected my enjoyment as I really struggled to concentrate on the story. It was ok, but pretty forgettable.

Me gustó la narración del autor, y aunque los personajes no fueron entrañables, me parecieron lo suficientemente interesantes, y la trama me resultó cautivante.

This book must've blown minds in 19th century Ireland. I can see why it's a literary classic. I loved it a lot even if the characters are a bit one dimensional. It's more about the atmosphere, the looming threat of death. We know what's happening to Laura, but she hasn't the faintest idea since she's so innocent. Spoilers: Carmilla's death was a bit of a let down. I thought we were building to something more shocking but her death was over so quickly and unceremoniously.
