Customer Reviews
Very detailed, distinct and capturing.
First I'd like to point out to those who haven't started the series, don't let the slow start of Toreador put you down the stories are really good. This novel of the clan Assimite does a very unique job of actually capturing the mind set of the clan. It does a great job showing the elders as true followers of their religion and path. What is even more awesome is the way the background is portrayed for the story. Some mysteries are solved yet even more are evolved. Are the Assimites a tool or are they the users? A very capturing book by Fleming, then again anything less should not be expected from such a good author.
Exciting!
It's a cool novel! Exciting, thrilling, amazing! You accompany Fatima al-Faqadi to Alamut, where you get an insight in the structure and inner politics of the Eagle's Nest. You visit a Sabbat invasion in the USA and a showdown with the Lasombra Archbishop of Lisbon. You learn details about some of Fatima's Rafiq colleagues as well as about Clan Elders like Jamal, Ur-Shulgi, Thetmes and Al-Ashrad. Maybe the best VtM book I have read.
Best of the series so far.
Still, I'm not overly impressed. I did like the character of Fatima; I think she may be the most sympathetic character we've seen so far. It was a nice change for there to actually be a main character that it was possible to root for.
