4.0 out of 5 stars A twist on a classic novel with Ravenloft horror mixed in, August 23, 1998

By 

Matt Lynch ([e-mail]) (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tower of Doom (Ravenloft Book) (Paperback)

I read this book shortly after finishing Death of a Darklord, as I wished to read more on Azalin, whom supposedly makes a cameo in the novel. Indeed, he does, but not like I expected. The book is fantastic, anyway, and it had some of the greatest characters and plot twists I'd ever seen.

In the end, you pitied the protagonist, loathed the villain, and felt for the two female leads, whose different paths merged to put them both on the path to ruin. The most intriguing character (and the one who surprised me by NOT doing what I thought he'd do), though, would have to be the gnome, Pock, whose comic relief was welcome in some parts.

The book wasn't perfect (thus, only the 4 stars), but it was a rousing tale and a good read, if a bit cheesy at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one is good....dark and fun!, December 12, 2002

This review is from: Tower of Doom (Ravenloft Book) (Paperback)

This book was an over all fun read. The main character of the story (Wort) gets his revenge on the many people who treat him so badly, which made for some fun revenge hungry reading! This story has a very dark feel to it, and many of the characters are selfish and greedy (which added to the dark atmosphere). Some of the positives of the book would have to be

1. The characters
If you have not read this book yet look for Lady Jadis the WerePanther- SHE IS COOL!Also Azalin makes an appearance along with some other cool new charecters.Wort plays some what of a villain in the later half of the book, and you love him for it! I give the characters 5 stars.

2. The revenge
If you enjoy sweet revenge or if someone has ever made you feel bad about the way you look you'll love this!Theres Nothing better than good paybacks!

3. The author
I had not read any of Mark Anthony's work before reading "Tower of Doom". He is a talented writer, and I was very impressed by the way he fine tuned the book.
The only negative input on the book is the whole Hunchback in the Bell Tower thing. Its a little bit Notre Dameish. (But thats OK right?)

With Zombies,Hunchbacks,Gnomes, and Were Panthers and a Dark classic Ravenloft setting....Its hard to dislike this book. Give it a try.
