The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor.
Clan Novel Nosferatu is the thirteenth novel in the series.
Lowliest and most scorned of vampires, the Kindred of Clan Nosferatu know better than most the horrors that lie far beneath the streets. Little did Calebros, among the foremost of the brethren, suspect that his clan's suggestion to Victoria Ash of a celebration in Atlanta would be a new beginning for a complex spiral of interlocking events that is completely changing the face of the Kindred world.
Calebros must comprehend all this while pursuing his clan's course of vengeance against a desperate and deadly enemy. Meanwhile, a great war between the Camarilla and the Sabbat seems to be coming to another cessation. What is Calebros to make of the fact that it is concluding in New York City, where also resides the Eye of Hazimel, an empowered neonate named Leopold, the sorcerous enemy his clan has sought, and SOMETHING that is lurking beneath the streets?
This series is a monumental 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and it's ending will determine the fate of every human–and inhuman–being in the world.
En lo que a calidad refiere es una saga irregular, algunas de sus novelas me gustaron mucho otras me parecieron intrascendentes.
El final de todo me hizo acordar muchisimo al final de games of thrones de la serie, eligiendo a alguien de entre todos los personajes, solo que en esta saga me pareció tuvo más sentido.(en mi opinion🤷♂️).
Me hubiese gustado mucho que entraran en la relacion del "ganado" (la gente comun) y los vampiros, ya que en las pocas veces que lo hicieron (hablando de todas las novelas) capturaron toda mi atención, porque siempre es interesante ver como se involucra un humano en un mundo donde nadie tiene problema en transformarte en su cena.
A good ending to the series, and probably the best entry over all. One only wishes the plot unveiled within would have been better hinted at in earlier volumes, since half of the overall plot in the series feels like they added it in after the series was already being published.
Being a bit more of a spy novel, due to the nature of the Nosferatu, this jumps around a lot. But if you read it last, it does all of the events across the previous 12 books together.
After reading the last book of the Clan Novel Saga, I can say that the novels by Gherbod Fleming, Richard Dansky and Justin Achilli are the best. And the ones by Stewart Wieck and Eric Griffin are the worst. Kathleen Ryan did a good job with Hesha Ruhadze (Setites), whereas Khalil Ravana is just a very unlikeable character, albeit the novel itself (Ravnos) was decent.
A good end to the thirteen book series. It nicely ties together a lot of the loose ends of the series and gives a satisfying finish. Overall it seems like the series was meant to be a way to get you interested in the table top game. Still fun to read, but I spent the whole time wishing there was more. Especially given the nosferatu talent for espionage and info gathering.
I want to read the whole series again in a caffeinated frenzy. The ending was ok, I was expecting nuclear or bellyflop, the author found some middle ground and surprises. I don’t think all the threads tied up but that is another reason to start again.
As in his other efforts in this series, Fleming does a good job of writing sa story with fine characterization, fine pacing, and good description. What he doesn't manage to do, is actually conclude a 13-book series in a way that feels anything like a CONCLUSION; if I'm going to wade through 13 books of varying quality, most of which have no beginning and no end (just "come back next week, same bat time, same bat channel") the least that the authors can do is to give me an ending after book 13! But this book doesn't do that; it ties up SOME of the ongoing plotlines:The Sabbat War & Leopold and the Eye of Hazimel, primarily. But the "Possible Antidiluvian in the background and the end of days" plotline is still dangling, which leaves me with a definite bad taste in my mouth.
Overall, I would give this series 2 stars, and that just barely; it's got a bit too much interest to leave it at 1 star, but it truly isn't very good.
Definitivamente el mejor libro de la saga. Un excelente conclucion para lo que empezó en la novela Toreador. Fleming sin duda es un gran escritor ya que las novelas que el escribió de esta brutal saga fueron las mejores. Si son lectores que aguanta libros aburridos pera luego saber que los siguientes son extraordinarios, deben darle una oportunidad a esta saga.
A relativly satisfying conclusion, although there was some plot threads I wished were tied up better and I think the whole Tzimisce in the sewers shtick could have gotten some more attention but that's probably outside the scope of this book
A good ending to a series. Fleming I think wrote the most in the series, and painted a wide and interesting canvas of Nosferatu characters whilst threading the story to it's grand finalé.
This is a fantastic series if you are a fan or player of the Vampire the Masquerade Table Top game. I gave it a 3 because I don't recomend this series to those who are not.
