Pleasent reading

After 3 novels set in france i found a change of pace and sceanary rather a releif and there are some interesting things contained within. Lord Jurgens fight with the Tzimisce hordes of Hungury for one and the introduction of one of the most famous Tzimsice in history. Even though the main character, Rossamund is a rather annoying posuer at times and yes is rather a lot about mortal concerns like love and so forth like the other reveiws have stated but what they fail to consider is this. The Toreador are the most human the most humane Clan of all the 13 in the world of darkness. They are the most likely to follow the road of humanity and strive to be closer to it, to be immersed in it. They are the Clan of the Rose. I personally was not looking forward to this novel cuz, like most people, i find that the Toreador are my least faverate clan for all the above reasons. Hard core gamers seem to go for the more dark and monsterous and leave the more human fopps to the girls and the bent wristed. But my own personal veiws aside this is a good read. I was pleastently suprised.
