5.0 out of 5 stars A Colossus, a Dungeons and Dragons Masterpiece, 13 Jul 2006

By	Marinos Tsimaris "Shirrack Dracko" (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like fantasy novels, Dungeons & Dragons PnP, Gothic or horror, the worlds of Dragonlance or Ravenloft then this is one book you must have.

Personally i think it's the best written novel from all the D&D novels i have ever read. If you haven't come here by chance then you have possibly heard of Lord Soth (who hasn't?). This is the story of how the mists of Ravenloft took him from the world of Krynn and thus explaining his disappearance at the end of the Legends trilogy.

If you know nothing about Ravenloft then rest assure that you will meet other villainous characters the most famous being Strahd Von Zarovich. It was interesting to see how the Death Knight would deal with other evil characters and his efforts trying to escape the mists back to his keep on Krynn.

But what impressed me most was James Lowder's knowledge of AD&D (since the book was written before the 3rd edition) and the details he used on the various abilities of every creature he writes about may that be the Death Knight, the Vampire spellcaster or the lesser undead creatures and monsters. In a sense it was like being part of a dungeons Pen and Paper adventure, only with no dice. As a D&D gamer since 1994, for me this is the truest novel to the rules (AD&D) than any i have ever read.

If you haven't bought the book yet i strongly suggest you do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, Dark fantasy novel , 27 Aug 2005

By	Marco Busani "Proven Intellect" (Edgware, London) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Set in the Ravenloft fantasy horror realm, this novel charts Soth's capture by the mists during his frenzied pursuit of Caradoc.

Soth ends up in Barovia where its evil lord Strahd tries to use him as a pawn, this rapidly turns to mutual respect once Strahd re-evaluates Soth's credentials. This novel has some excellent interaction between these two undead powers.

We also learn of Azrael's descent into lycanhtropy and I particularly enjoyed the way in which the werebadger turns the tables on his would be executioners when they attempt to hang him high. Aswell, as the sombre dwarf, Soth is also accompanied by the mysterious gypsy girl Magda, whilst seeking a return route back to Krynn.

The novel ends the way in which it commenced with Soth pursuing his former senescal, Caradoc. As Soth throttles the last gasp of breath out of Caradoc, the mists arise. Rather than a return to Krynn, Soth is doomed to an eternal existence in a hellish realm that the mists have melded around him- Sithicus. This novel would probably have benefitted from a few more action sequences, nonetheless, this a good blend of Fantasy and Horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clash of the Titans, 26 Oct 1998

By A Customer

Lord Soth is utterly ruthless. Strahd is powerful. Together these two tear up Ravenloft.

I thought this was good character developement for Soth. In the Dragonlance Saga Soth was a bit tame. But his wrath is unleashed here.

The ending is great.
