Summary: Toreador review
Comment: I liked this book. It was a decent intro to the world of the Camarilla, in particular, two Toreador vampires. I read reviews of most of the series of 13 novels, and this first book didn't rate real high. If that's the case, I am really looking forward to reading the novels which seemed to rate the highest! Setite, Gangrel, and Ravnos.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not quite up to mediocre.
Comment: If you enjoy the Vampire roleplaying game, and don't object overmuch to a book that is sloppily written and edited, and that has no real ending (granted, to give it its due, it at least doesn't end on a cliffhanger, as so many "series" books do these days; the end just sort of trails off, but it doesn't really give a feeling of completion) you might enjoy this book. The characters aren't bad, and the plot is tolerable. But great literature this certainly is not, nor even especially good genre fiction. An okay quick read, nothing more.
Rating: 2
Summary: One of the hardest books to get through...
Comment: that I have ever read.
I would have to agree with a few select reviewers on this book. It was very hard to get through. Character development was absolutely horrible. I couldn't connect with anyone in the book.
I gave it two stars because it sets the scene for the following book. Not character wise, but locationally (locationality?). It gives you the hierarchy system.
But as a roleplayer I know that they could have done much better. Especially after reading the clan books they put out for the game. My opinion is simply that they should have stuck to short stories perhaps, those aren't bad.
I don't recommend this book unless you are interested in reading through the entire series. Because I know a few people that just wanted to read them for thier prefered clans (I'm a Gangrel fan myself).
The rest of the books are worth reading, they get smoother and more interesting as you go down the line. This one just wasn't really worth my time.
