After the fate of the Camarilla and the Sabbat of the United States has been decided. After the powers behind the young Toreador Leopold are revealed. After the fate of every Kindred in the World of Darkness has been altered by the Clan Novel series, comes this anthology of all-new stories. Written by the same authors who delivered the action of the Clan Novels, this anthology presents further tales of the characters you have come to know so well. Even of those Beyond Death This collection of 13 original stories builds upon the success of the popular 13-book Clan Novel series. The Clan Novels have been very successful and readers have clamored for more tales about their heroes (and villains!). This anthology reveals even more secrets about the Kindred of the World of Darkness.
I have to say that the ENTIRE clan novel series was very well done. It acurately portrays each clan, indeed each individual's reaction to the coming of Gehenna, and how each faction reacts to the other in times of war, deceit, and betrayal.
Yo pensaba que este libro iba a ser un "que pasó después de la saga del Ojo de Hazimel" a traves de los pov de cada uno de los clanes, pero no. Cada capitulo es una historia corta con un vampiro de cada clan como el protagonista (directa o indirectamente). Algunos tienen relación con la historia del Ojo, y otros van por libre. Y por ende, algunos son un rollazo y otros molan mucho, pero molan en el sentido de estar leyendo al narrador de una partida de V20 y que te sumerja en la ambientación; incluso se podrían utilizar las ideas de las historias para sesiones en mesa. Supongo que ese es el éxito del libro: desde fan rolers de Vampiro: La Mascarada para fan rolers de Vampiro: La Mascarada.
Having now made it through the whole series, I'd say I liked them quite well. The books are quick, filled with complex characters, and entertaining. I enjoyed the anthology for its collection of snippets about characters given slightly less description or POV through the rest of the series. If you like vampire books with lots of characters to keep track of that is set in a fairly complex world, I'd say these ones are for you.
An interesting collection of short stories. It is a real shame that the producers of the short-lived TV series didn't follow the source material more closely (or even better, get these guys to write for them).
