Summary: Ravenloft Novel from top to toe
Review: A very entertaining novel about a young werewolf who seeks revenge on the murderer of his mother. Contains all ingedients to belong to the Ravenloft Novel serie but is sometimes a bit predictable and therefore I gave it three stars.

Summary: superb book
Review: Are you all other reviewers insane? This work is a gothic classic on werebeasts! I love the characters!! Robert J King's BEST!! His literary style flows with dark and gothic imagery. Pick this book up, you would not regret it!!!

Summary: pretty good
Review: Certainly my least favorite of the Ravenloft series thus far. Although it continuing to be in print while the same can't be said of most other RL books speaks some on its popularity and quality. Most of the characters were thought out and developed, but none were overly memorable. The powers of the chief antagonist were way too powerful to be believable...suspension of disbelief goes only so far. Some pretty good plot twists and typically morose Ravenloft ending made for good reading.

Review: Hmph. Ravenloft books tend to be sorta pointless exercises because they're not really HORROR; they're just fantasy with werewolves and vampires. This at least tries. It can be somewhat tedious, but all in all it actually works as horror, to an extent. And the ending's great.

Summary: The worst so far...
Review: I've only read the first four Ravenloft books and this one was, without-a-doubt, the worst. It had an extremely boring plot (and I feel I'm being gracious by calling it a plot), and poorly concieved characters. The ending was the best part and even it wasn't that good. Overall, a very dissapointing read, especially considering how good the first three were. Hopefully King's next book in the series, "Carnival of Fear," will redeem him

Summary: It's length makes it boring
Review: It was an okay idea and the writing was acceptable (but not great by any means) but the story was just too long. If it would have been 200 pages I would have liked it a lot more. 'Knight of the Black Rose' was much better.

Summary: The Tale of A Misguided Heroic Bard
Review: It was very good, chilling. It belongs in Ravenloft because it accentuates the love of bardic entertainment in Kartakass. The book tells of the longing of life and love but adds a sinister and evil twist of fate to the tale.
