Summary: Soth! What more needs said?
Comment: Lowder is an excellent writer. He has great characters, and then proceeds to kill them at an alarming rate (though you never suspect when it will happen). The deaths make the tale all the more beleivable. I hate reading a book where characters facing overwhelming odds and no one dies. The best part about this book is the way Lowder breaks from the Ravenloft tradition and does something unbelievable with Soth (although I think the tale was a command performance by DL editors!). You will love the Bloody Cobbler, although you will realize who the White Rose is early on if you are any kind of DL fan. Read this book! As I said, you can see that this is one of the last in the series since Lowder breaks sooo many rules.

Summary: Saucy! Delicious! Won't Promote Tooth or Gum Decay!
Comment: I just finished this spectacular novel and all I can say is...WOW! Lowder and Robinson did a superb job in taking us back through the Mists and into the fey realm of Sithicus, where new troubles await everyone's favorite Ravenloft DarkLord, Lord Soth, Knight of the Black Rose. Old favorites like Magda, the Vistani heroine, and Azrael, the soulless lycanthrope, are back along with some new antagonists and protagonists, such as the Bloody Cobbler and the White Rose, two spectres who are all too familiar to His Royal Badness (no not Prince!!!). The end result is a smashing example of literary genius, guaranteed to hold the reader spellbound until the last page...well the last page of text, not the annoying ads for books that have been released for three years. Bottom line: buy it or you might just end up in the dark...or worse yet, in the Mists...

Summary: HUGE FLOP
Comment: Spectre of the Black Rose is the follow up book to Knight of the Black Rose. Lowder returns in a dubious paring with Voronica Whitney-Robinson. I am uncertain what makes this book so bad. The story has such promise and yet falls so short of the mark that it is almost sickening.
This complete tragedy of a novel might have been good if the authors would have focused on Soth. The reader comes away from the book feeling like nothing was accomplished. The best character in the novel barely works. The Bloody Cobbler who is victimized by a stupid name but has the best lines in the entire novel, struggles to save this book from being a total waste of paper. He fails. In short, the best part of this novel is the beautiful binding and cover art. This is definitely one book that you cannot judge by the cover.
