The Dark Ages Clan Novel Saga is a 13-volume series of novels set in the world of Dark Ages: Vampire, released by White Wolf from 2002 to the end of 2004. The series begins with Dark Ages Clan Novel 1: Nosferatu and ends with Dark Ages Clan Novel 13: Tzimisce. Inspired by the original modern-day Clan Novel Saga for Vampire: The Masquerade, this series begins with the end of the original Vampire: The Dark Ages era and continued into the time-frame of Dark Ages: Vampire. The 13 novels are written from the POV of one clan each during the turbulence that swept through the mortal and Cainite societies of Europe following the fall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade. These novels, unlike the original Clan Novel Series, are chronological, happening one after the other rather than overlapping. Dark Ages Clan Novel #5 Lasombra: The Fate of the Second Rome The situation in Constantinople has degenerated into sheer chaos, as vampires of every stripe prey on the ruined metropolis. Lucita, the young envoy of Clan Lasombra, is caught in the middle and cut off from her elders in Europe. Alone, she faces the impossible task of making the city her own, lest she become another victim in the War of Princes. Dark Ages: Lasombra continues the epic thirteen-part series of Dark Ages Clan Novels, chronicling a vast conflict among the vampires of the Middle Ages.… (mehr)

It feels unfinished, in some respects. I suspect this is because it is the fifth book in a series with rather more than five volumes, and it is the only book in the series I have read. I started it because I liked his writing in the Grail's Covenant series, more than for any other reason. Unfortunately, I suspect I would dislike the writing in other books of this Dark Ages Clan Novel series, given the fact each book is written by someone different, and the first book's author is an author whose writing I haven't enjoyed in the past.

David Niall Wilson is great at some atmospheric writing and character building. The complexity of some relationships in this novel, the weight of factions, and likely the requirement to tie it closely to other books written by other people, seem to have made it a bit less cohesive a story than it could have been. Some of the character development narrative became clunky and unnecessarily expository. It feels a little like a later draft, but not fully polished, still in need of some work.

I enjoyed it, and felt a touch disappointed it was over. It makes me want to read more -- but more of the story as it would be written by this author, not by some other as part of a marketing series of books where the focus of each is on a different character attached to a different faction.

I think my next David Niall Wilson book will not be about someone else's product line. ( )
