Summary: Excellent Series
Comment: This is an excellent vampire series. If this is your first Christopher Golden book I would highly suggest reading this series in order: (1) Of Saints and Shadows (2) Angel Souls and Devil Hearts (3) Of Masques and Martyrs and (4) The Gathering Dark. I enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed the first four anita blake novels and more than the tanya huff series. I highly highly recommend.
Book #3 continues where Book #2 left off. There is still a huge war between the good vampires versus evil vampires. The evil vampires have taken over the world and are hunting humans. The world used to have sympathy for vampires, but through senseless acts of violence and killing by Hannibal, vampires are hated amongst humans. This makes life even harder for the good vampires who want to live in harmony with humans. This book continues the war with the evil ones. The leader of the good vampires is still our hero Peter Octavian.
This is an excellent vampire series. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: A fantastic bookend to the series.
Comment: The third installment of Christopher Golden's Shadow Saga "trilogy" was one of those books that has definite re-read potential. The first book of the series (Of Saints and Sinners) was absolutely fantastic. It was by far one of the most creative stories that I have ever read. If you read my Amazon review of that book you will see what high praise I had for that book, along with my one serious disappointment that prevented the rating from acheiving 5 stars. Even with that disappointment, I read book two. Book two took care of my disappointment, and although not a fantastic book, maintained my interest to continue to book three. Now I get to book three and have no hesitation to rate this book a full five stars. Although the creativity is obviously not as prevalent as in the first book (for the simple reason that book one had a completely open slate from which to work with, and book three is a continuation) the storyline of book three is just as strong as book one without any detractions that could possibly bring the book down. Although when I read book three, I knew that Golden was working on book four of the "trilogy," Of Masques And Martyrs has a definitive ending that leaves enough open so that there could be a fourth book, but tied up the loose ends in a manner that would not leave you disappointed if the series stopped at three books. So, if you even slightly enjoyed book one of this series, continuing through to the the third book is definitely worth the read. Golden proceeds with strong character development, interesting plot twists, and the creatively dark descriptions that made this series one definitely worth reading.

Summary: Literally, saints and shadows
Comment: I have read all of this series, and each book shows the tale of the Shadows and how they have emerged into our world, and we in to theirs. Of Saints and Shadows, and Angel Hearts and Devil Souls shows us how vunerable we are to being human. This one showed that even those who seemed famned into forever hunting and the for eveer hell, that is not true. Peter Octavian shows us that even the most battered soul, may still shine.
