Spectre of the Black Rose

1999James Lowder

4.4/5

This is the sequel to Knight of the Black Rose. Lord Soth, a character from Dragonlance, is transported to the Ravenloft realm. This continues his story there.I can describe this book in one word : incohesive. I am amazed at how much I enjoyed the first book and how much I disliked this one. This book had two authors unlike the first that had one author. Maybe the collaboration didn't work. All I know is whatever the reason this book did not work. Gone was the terrific goth fantasy atmosphere. Instead, it was just a series of events that jumped from one to another that did not make sense. There was no buildup to these events or no background information for the new characters. I understand that one was suppose to be a reveal but that fell flat as it was telegraphed from a mile away. Even Lord Soth who is an amazing character was used incorrectly.I never thought I would dislike a book with one of my favorite Dragonlance characters. This book surprised me in that way. I wish it didn't. Do yourself a favor and stop after the first book as this book is a lousy followup.
