Not the best vampire book, but ok. The story follows at a decent pace, the characters are better than cardboard, the mood and description better than the characters or pace. Basically, warrior become vampire, and this tells his story with its agonizing end- not his end, but the story brings us up to the present so that we may more fully appreciate him and his dilemmas as a vampire. And over all, I felt that way- I understood him better and could appreciate where he'd come from- both his time period, and his experiences. The book worked for me, but not in awe inspiring ways. But then again, how can all books be awe inspiring? It would turn the best into the commonplace.

First book by P.N. Elrod I ever read, definitely won't be the last. What a great add to the Ravenloft series! I love Strahd, I really, really hope to read more of him in the future!
