Summary: Amazing book
Comment: I absolutely loved this book. Easily one of the best books I've ever read. It's hard to believe that Golden's a first time author. The character development was remarkable, particularly with Jander. Unlike the contrived endings of so many works of fantasy, this left a lot to the imagination with its open-endedness. When I finished, I couldn't wait to learn more about Barovia and the world of Ravenloft. I'm trying to read all the books sequentially. Too bad so many are out of print and hard to find...

Summary: What a rookie effort
Comment: As she herself states, this was her first Novel. While at time it may hint at that fact, the overall piece seems veteran. This, the first novel in the Ravenloft franchise, needs a tad of slack, the rest had a myriad of atmosphere and feel to go on. Soth came from Dragonlance, he had history, he had the attention of so many already. These guys, Strahd, Petya & Jander needed to start from scratch. Enough said on that issue. This novel is a great read, filled with dark emotions, and battles of will. The action that happens within the pages is well planned, and well described, despite the grislieness of what the characters do. The plot arc dealing with Jander transplanting the Lathanderan faith by merely looking like him was a hoot, and Ms. Golden did a wonderful job of making it matter to the story as a whole. Most people focus on the dueling Vampires, but I think the great job she did on the other principles, like Brother Martin & Petya was just as wonderful. I loved it, and it served as a wonderful tie in for Realms fans to the Ravenloft line. This isn't one to miss.

Summary: A Must Read for Vampire Fans
Comment: Science fiction has never held any great interest with me until I found the Ravenloft series. Being a Horror fan, specifically vampire fiction, it is not often I wander into the Sci-Fi section looking for a good read. Then I found this book. Jander Sunstar captures your attention and alerts your compassion like no other character has before. I have read over two hundred vampire novels, and this by far is my favorite. The magic of the tale draws you in and keeps you reading well into the night. The antagonist-protagonist relationship between Jander and Straud is incredibly well-matched, with even the villian (per se) having a well of expositional emotions to draw on. A reccommended read for an escape from reality.
