Query: YAWN.

this book sucks. i've read virtually all of the ravenloft novels. that being said this novel: spectre of the black rose- was like having 5 root canals done at once. painfully slow reading,entirely unabsorbing characters that seemed to go nowhere and do nothing. it's a shame because i loved the book "knight of the black rose". if you're looking for Soth to kick some butt in this book you've come to the wrong place. there are like 3 minor skirmishes in this hunk of junk. i'd find reading stereo assembly instructions more compelling. if you want real ravenloft i suggest you pick up anything P.N. Elrod touches.
