Best White Wolf Fiction Ever
I must admit to being an avid fan of Mr. Stolze but would like to add the caveat that he deserves the high praise that I give his novel. I find that many times a product driven novel usually loses sight of one of the most important goals of any piece of literature: Simply, to tell a good story. Ashes and Angel Wings is a great story, with well rounded and interesting characters. Even if you aren't a fan of White Wolf's game systems I heartily recommend picking up Mr. Stolze's finely crafted novel, you won't be disappointed. My only warning is to be prepared to buy the next two books in the series because you will definitely want to continue down such an engaging road.
Wow
This book blew me away. Greg Stolze is an extremely good author. I especially liked the way he made the conflict between the main characters' dual natures come to life in your mind. You /felt/ the conflict of the demons' torment and memories versus what their vessels wanted them to do. It was fantastic.
Great book
I don't normally read game fiction, but I really loved White Wolfs 'Demon: the Fallen' setting because it appealed to my love of dogma. I first read 'Lucifers Shadow' and it's short story 'A Legitimate Obligation'. When I found out that there was a whole book dedicated to Hasmed, I had to have it.
I'll have to admit, the book isn't ALL about Hasmed, but the side stories work their way into the main plot in such an amazing way, it makes it all worth it.
'Ashes and Angel Wings' tells us how Hasmed came to control the body of Harvey Ciullo, how he works to gain influence in the mortal crime sydicate for his own and his masters gain, and how, most importantly, he looks out for his daughter Tina.
While there is definitely a climax at the end, it doesnt really wrap things up and it leaves you wanting to know more. It's not enough of a let down to ruin the book, though. Just enough to urge me to buy 'The Seven Deadlies'.
