4.0 out of 5 stars A good ending to a fairly good trilogy, January 28, 1999

This review is from: Dark Prophecy (Vampire The Masquerade) (Trilogy of the Blood Curse, Book 3) (Paperback)

Much of this novel was redundant... just repeated information from the first two novels. In a way, I see the nessecity of this to remind the reader who the characters are and why they are how they are but it gets really old, really fast. All-in-all, I loved the whole trilogy and the introduction of Montrevant from the Grail's Covenant Trilogy was a masterfully nice touch. Good Job, Gherbod.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well at least it fits into my bookcase, April 29, 2000

This review is from: Dark Prophecy (Vampire The Masquerade) (Trilogy of the Blood Curse, Book 3) (Paperback)

When reading a commercial tie-in, it would be unfair to expect any great literary triumph, but I endured the entire trilogy expecting, at least, to learn a little more about White Wolf's World of Darkness, and to be told a complete story. Silly me!

What we get in the books isn't too bad, it just that it could have been a lot better. The globetrotting plot fails to capture any of the flavors of its European Settings and Fleming's heavy-handed handling of the prophecy elements of the story detracts from its whole. It also suffers from a very poor ending.

However, the characters are fun, the story is well paced, the action suitably violent, and Fleming obviously knows his stuff about the World of Darkness. If you are playing "Vampire The Masquerade" I would recommend it, but if you are a Storyteller don't expect too much inspiration from it.
