4.0 out of 5 stars The Tale of A Misguided Heroic Bard, Feb 25 2003

By	HistoryBuff - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heart of Midnight (Paperback)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars So so book, but doesn't belong in Ravenloft..., Dec 5 2002

By	David Courtney "blixel" (Deltona, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heart of Midnight (Paperback)

This book was mostly a waste of time. Way too many poems and songs. I remember one song spanned several pages. Sorry but if I wanted to read lyrics or poetry I'd read the book of Psalms in the Bible. Besides that, this book just didn't really feel like it belonged in the Ravenloft series. If you are considering reading this book, I'd say don't bother. Get "Vampire of the Mists", "I, Strahd", or "Knight of the Black Rose" instead. All that said, this book was still better than "Carnival of Fear" in my opinion.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty good, Dec 23 2000

By	muirlin (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Heart of Midnight (Paperback)

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.

It was an okay idea and the writing was acceptable (but not great by any means) but the story was just too long. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars not half bad...
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. Read more
