Summary: Pleasantly surprised and very impressed
Review: I had always been put off by RPG fiction - usually because the writing was often less than good. But a friend handed me Slave Ring I was really impressed by the way it was written - it had a different feel to it. I then read The Overseer in a day - I really couldn't put it down - it delved more deeply into the story telling and really fleshed out the characters making them more vivid. So I was looking forward to getting my hands on The Puppet-Masters, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. I knew that it was going to be an important book with everything that's happening in the game world, and I thought it successfully tied up a few loose-ends while leaving a few open for later books. It also continued to bring the characters to life and again I couldn't put it down. I am really looking forward to reading more by this writer!

Summary: best of the trilogy
Review: The questions and characters revealed in the first two books of this trilogy further explored in this third entry. A good deal of the book is about fighting and finding allies. Like much of "Vampire: the Masquerade" it is also about using others to get ahead and the effects of doing that on the mind, the emotions and the soul. This time both the effects on Kindred and ghouls are explored. I have a fondness for ghouls and have several players playing these servants in my annual summer tabletop game. Dedopulos does a good job of looking at the newness and horror of newbie Kindred and ghouls both though I wish someone would write more about ghouls in general. I was very pleased to finish this third book. Maybe I'll have good on Theo show up this summer when our rpg group restarts up Vampire.

Summary: The Final Nights are upon us ...
Review: This final book to the Brujah (Slave) Trilogy is a good read. I may be wrong, but it's also a nice precursor to the Time of Judgement novel that will bring a close to the World of Darkness (Gehenna). Sorry, if this is a spoiler for some - but I doubt it is ;)Elements that are hinted at in the previous 2 books are fleshed out and revealed in this one, while others are left unanswered. We meet some notable characters from WoD lore, as well as experience some interesting plot developments that will keep the reader engaged from start to finish. The Final Nights are upon us ...
