Rating: Summary: Started out slow but it does satisfy Review: This book started really slow. The only reason i kept reading was because i love paladins. My handle all over the net is usually paladin or paladore so i kept reading on. The only really bad guys in it were ghouls which i never thought to be that tough in rpgs but in this they are deadly and of course Ebonbane. There could have been a few more enemies. From the middle of the book till the end, were really really good and satisfying so if i could i would give it a 3.5 but a 3 is all i'm allowed to give.
Rating: Summary: Confusing Ravenloft concept Review: This book was very confusing in where it was set. I was never really sure that it took place in Ravenloft at all. It could just as easily have been set in any fantasy setting. To me this is what caused it to lose much of its appeal.I bought this book for the sole purpose of seeing how a paladin would function in Ravenloft, how the mists would react to his presence, how the Lords would deal with him. None of this is ever covered. In fact, the main character never becomes a paladin. The story was mildly interesting and the authors did have some nice plot twists, but this did not read as a Ravenloft novel. If you're looking for a good story this worth a try. If you're looking for a good Ravenloft book, look elsewhere.
