A good book without a story book ending, May 23 1996
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Enemy Within (Paperback)
Recently I have read a lot of "happy" endings. Where the main character saves the maiden, blah blah blah. I have read almost all of Christie Golden's work and find her a superb author. She seems to understand that real life is not what some write. Mistakes are made, and family memebers *DO* die from time to time. When you finish one of her books, any of them, you feel sad for the main character and all those who lost their lives, but at least you don't feel like they should live happily-ever-after. The Enemy Within was certainly her classic style, right down to the win/lose ending. It might lag a touch in certain areas, but it more than makes up for it in the climax and resolution

A good read, even if it is completely false, Sep 5 1998
By Matt Lynch (Mattlynch@aol.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Enemy Within (Paperback)
In yet another example of the misinterpreted, confused history of Sir Tristen Hiregaard, we have TEW, Christie Golden's third (and worst) RL novel. However, that is not to say it is bad. Quite the opposite, it is well done and a rousing tale.Let me clarify my above statement by saying Sir Tristen Hiregaard (not Tristan, as it is in this book) is known for having the worst continuity of any RL character, having no less than four histories, this being the third such. To help, however, the "true" one can be found in Domains of Dread, the hardcover sourcebook for the Ravenloft role-playing game.
This book, however, take all of the previous histories (which coincided fairly well) and tossed it out the window, giving us a strange tale that is not only completely opposite to Tristen/Malken's character, but completely opposite to the very history of Nova Vaasa itself.
But, I am speaking as a fan of the game world. As a fan of the novel series, I still have to say it is an excellent read (though not as good as Vampire of the Mists or Dance of the Dead, Golden's other contributions), even if it is non-canon.

Excellent horror, May 13 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Enemy Within (Paperback)
An excellent telling of the story of one of Ravenloft's more tragic darklords. The ending leaves you satisfied, but wanting more.
Listmania!
