I do like vampire books. A lot. But this one was ridiculous!
This books is so full of clichés that it's not even funny. You have a vampire - Strahd - who lives in a dark and misty country, he lives in a ruinous castle but he still wears luxious clothing, he plays the organ and has heaps and heaps of female vampire slaves who blindly follow his orders (if it was written by a man, I would say that the author is trying to stress his masculinity and heterosexuality). But all he does is pine after his lost love Tatyana and murder the villagers.
And take a vampire golden elf - Jander Sunstar - who falls in love with a mad woman *snorts* called Anna and after she dies, he falls through a mist into the country where said vampire lives. And oops, it takes him more than fifty years to figure out that Anna and Tatyana are the same woman and that it was Strahd who caused Anna's madness.
And the names - Maruschka, Petya, Katya... Maybe because I'm Slavic myself it really bothers me that so many authors overuse our names. It's becoming a similar problem like all the apostrophes in fantasy names some years ago.

I am reading I, Strahd right now, and I adore this book! It is truly WONDERFUL. One thing is though, I am not sure what order the Ravenloft books go in? Can anyone help me? I know I, Strahd is not the very first book...do they go in any particular order?
Thanks for your help!!!

I went into this book loving the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realm offerings from TSR/WoTC. I have known about the Ravenloft novels for sometime but thought it was a completely different setting and world and while enjoying vampire stories I wasn't ready to plunge into another shared world...I had no idea that it tied into Forgotten Realms (FR)!
Wow! How awesome is that for a setting? All that goes bump in the night in the world of Forgotten Realms takes place here amongst the Dwarven warriors and wizardly elves and others? Yep! That surprised me and thrilled me beyond belief...what a great idea. Grant it there is this mysterious place called Barovia but its still part, somehow, of the world we know and love in FR.
Simply put: this book is outstanding and all the range of emotions were invoked. I felt fear, sadness, relief, disgust, sorrow, happiness, and regret...oh man what a roller coaster of a good time! The ending was not what I expected and was a little let down but then again its not my story but Christie Golden's. The book ends setting up for further stories so I am off to get my hands on them...that is until the sun comes up =)
