One of my favorites

Bloodwar is one of the best written books I've read. If you're going to read this book find a time when you're not going to be interupted. It grabs you like a snake grabs a mouse.

Beautiful, Compelling, enthralling,....so on and so forth

One of the most fantastic books I've ever read. Weinbergs writing style grabs you attention and holds it, and the plots he spins is totally intriguing. Great command of language, man, he has style. And amazing insights into the World of Darkness, the picture he paints is frightening in its realism. You know this is a fantasy, but is it? :)

Recommended!!!

If you are into the World of Darkness you will love this trilogy, if not it will get you into it. 100% recommended.

You can't buy just one!

This was a great series. For those of you who enjoy the Masquerade, you'll get a real kick out of the different, ancient, cultic, world manipulating secrets.

Impressive scope, especially considering the topic.

Robert Weinberg has managed to combine the two most difficult to achieve traits in a V:TM fantasy novel, namely character development and scope, with rapid action and a pace worthy of James Bond. The characters of the Camarilla, their servants and tools, as well as their ancient vampiric manipulators, come alive. We understand them, feel their desperation, revel in their triumphs, but realize how ephemeral is victory within the Jhyad, yet how final are the defeats. By scope I mean that the book reaches back to ancient beginnings, and across many current boundaries and spheres of influence. The book's villains appear in the principal city of the vampire world, pose threats from that vantage which could affect all life on Earth... yet somehow manage to do so without getting preachy or unecessarily artificial... the connections seem possible, and we feel comfortable with the trails ending at the feet of real entities out of vampire and human legend. Few ficititous worlds are so completely well-crafted, even accounting for the advantages of writing within the well-established World of Darkness. Of course, even so skillful a web as Mr. Weinberg has weaved, would be dull if there weren't constant action along with the angst. The World of Darkness is a violent place of sudden death and dangerous creatures. The special effect budget for a movie based on this script would keep several hi-tech firms busy for years. A rare treat for any fiction fans; a must-have for gothic horror fans.
