Being a fan of Dracula I went into this with extremely HIGH expectations but...It just didn't live up to the standard.I kinda had already figured out who the villain was when they were introduced into the story.That alone was a buzz kill for me.With that being said this wasn't a "meh" read ;the artworks were fascinating and it was easy to read.Soooooo... this probably falls under "T'was good...."
