3.0 out of 5 stars It was alright, November 21, 1999

This review is from: Vampire Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

Abandoning his tried and true method of story-though-diary form, Romkey also abandons Princess Tatiana, and his characters'personalities. The reader is manipulated through a series of unbelievable circumstances and forced to endure an almost Anne Ricean atmosphere with none of her talent for description or character empathy. Mozart is almost hostile, Tatiana is only briefly referred to, and we are never given a good reason for her abandonment, and as an earlier reviewer mentioned, David Parker is almost a non-existent player, as most of the action centers around other people, and he allows himself to be manipulated and pushed about by events and characters. There are good things about the book, and Romkey is a good writer. Perhaps he should have written this book with new characters - ones his faithful readers hadn't already come to know and expect certain things from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Vampire Book, August 9, 2001

This review is from: Vampire Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed this book very much, after having read I, Vampire and the Vampire Papers. This book focused more on Niccoleta and less on David Parker. Mr. Romkey made it a point to show just how evil and depraved she really is. If you're a David Parker fan, you'll be a little disappointed. He's not in much of the book. The David Parker in this book is a shadow of his former self. He's pretty pathetic. But, I think that just shows how powerful Niccoleta really is. Even David agrees that he's no match for her. I would love to see another book where David Parker goes up against her. That would be a hell of a fight. The whole cruise thing is kinda over the top. There are so many characters that it's a bit hard to follow at times, especially the part about the voodoo priest. What's that all about?? I really recommend the book, because you get a feel for Niccoleta. The Vampire Papers didn't go into great detail about her past.

4.0 out of 5 stars the good...the bad...and the ugly, August 20, 1999

By 

William G. Burch - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vampire Princess (Mass Market Paperback)

The good...the entire story line of "princepessa" was excellent, when dealing with her past. Could have been an excellent novel in it's own rite had Romkey stuck with her and her early years. The bad...the whole cruise ship scenario seemed lame and completely incredible. He jumps around from character to character so much my head was spinning. Did enjoy how the ship was ressurected and the story line associated with it. The ugly...David Parker reduced to a whimpering, whipped vampire. The David Parker I got to know in Romkey's first two books would never have succumbed to such a fate. All in all I still enjoy Romkey's "twist" on the vampire genre.
