I believe that's a subjective decision that is dependent upon the individual reader's taste.
I do beg your pardon, it seems my question was a trifle ambiguous. Let me rephrase it for any latecomers:

As I've said before in my other posts, I love the gothic setting. Give me castles and atmosphere any time.
