Summary: Azalin IS more powerful then in the book
Review: After reading 'the Lord of Necropolis', where Azalin was presented as 'virtualy omnipotent', I am a bit disappointed with this one. At the beginning of the book he is superior to Strahd and can deal with everything in Barovia; after he teaches Strahd scraps of his magic it seems that not Strahd becomes more powerful, but Azalin loses his power: a band of goblyns can chase him like he was a rabbit, and he actually runs! There are more examples, he doesn't know a simple travel spell and must ride a horse, and so on. The author seems to put too much of her affection to Strahd, and I put mine to Azalin.

Summary: Good book, but not as great as the first "I, Strahd"
Review: First of all, I want to say I enjoyed reading "The War Against Azalin". However, it was not as rich as the first "I, Strahd" book (that one got 5 stars!) In the first book, Strahd was a fascinating character, but he seems kinda bland in this new book. The War Against Azalin is not as exciting, since the actual "war" doesn't take part until the last part of the book. I hope Elrod will write the next book soon!

Summary: Awsome but not enough and too much
Review: Great book. Azailin and Strahd booth are excellent characters especially in the same book but the title of the book disapinted me. The war didnt' really happen untill the last 50 pgs of the book. The whole book was both planing and prepairing for the other to betray them. There should have been a larger war but still it was a great book.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I don't know alot about Ravenloft but if you enjoy a good fantasy book specially about vampires I recommend this book. I have nothing but praises to the author for writing such an intelligent and creative book.

Summary: This book was awesome
Review: I truly enjoyed the reading of this book. I know alittle about Ravenloft but this book took me a way from the moment I started reading it. If you love Lord Strahd's adventures then this is the book for you!

Summary: No other D&D author compares to Elrod.
Review: I've read about a dozen D&D based novels (Realms and Dragonlance stuff too). This book is only hampered by the inherent constraints of any D&D author, and a bit of excessity in describing magical devices and effects. Otherwise, it is an intelligent novel, very intriguing, and well written. We all know Azalin is a lich, but Strahd doesn't! I was very interested at how he would react to gaining the knowledge. The rythmn and flow is beautiful. See for yourself. Elrod outshines even the Dragonlance saga's, I believe, but I always had a soft spot for vampires...

Summary: The BEST!
Review: Of course, this is coming from a 25 year old woman with a poster of Strahd hanging in her living room! I read "I Strahd" and closed the book with tears in my eyes, never before have I read a book that moved me like that one. So when I picked up "the war against Azalin" I tried not to get my hopes up, I know how sequels can be. BOY WAS I WRONG! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and screaming for more when it was done!Tatyana would be proud!

Summary: Just when you thought Strahd was Evil....
Review: P. N. Elrod delivers a very well-crafted sequel to the already classic I, Strahd that doesn't take the story out of Strahd's hand but just lends it a little to his foe Azalin. Both characters are round and well developed. I enjoyed the book very much, waiting was worth it.
