Summary: Lesser of two evils?
Comment: P.N.Elrod returns with "I, Strahd: The War Against Azalin." To begin, the book is supurbly written. Ms. Elrod has a wonderful grasp of language, and a great sence to her craft as a writer. She also has a wonderful grasp of the characters, both Strahd, and Azalin. Despite being undead, she fills them with the tribulations of the living, only she marvelously stretches them over the course of years, even decades! The manipulations, and the power games which ultimately escalate into a war are wonderfully developed. The entire arrival of Azalin, the powerful, and evil lich; and further, his struggle with his sudden prison and the yoke he finds himself bound under are grand. The continuing struggle for Strahd, to search out Tatyana only to lose her time and time again is heart wrenching (allowing for a macabre irony of course). Despite the fact you have to loath both of the main characters--let's face it, they're abominations!--the author does a wonderful job of pulling you into a position of picking a "worse of two evils." Of course, the novel is written as the journal of Strahd Von Zarovich; so like Dr. Rudolf vanRichten, whether you take it at face value, or ponder whether it's merely Propoganda by the briliant Vampire lord, you have to admit, it's a great read. I recommend this novel to all, especially those who love gothic fantasy/"horror" novels, and more so if you've read either: "I, Strahd: Memoirs of a Vampire"(also by P.N.Elrod) or "Vampire of the Mist"(by Christie Golden).

Summary: everything i wanted out of this sequel i got.
Comment: the war against azalin is a excellent addition to the strahd collection. i hope TSR turns this series into a franchise.elrod nails the character of strahd better than anyone else. there were moments that i laughed out loud at strahd's comments and inner thoughts,he's the kind of "villian" i love to root for.azalin is the greatest threat strahd has ever seen...you can't help but be scared of a damn lich!elrod delivers again and again script wise. the book is well paced and easy to follow,you can tell she has a passion for the subject matter! the ending was a bit of a let down,i was hoping for some sort of closure. a bit anti-climatic,however,i see why elrod left it alone as she did...sequel!and it leaves strahd the way he should be,always ready for the next adventure.
Rating: 4
