Reading Dark Ages clan novels these days. It's Vampire the Masquerade in the high middle ages, the events start with the sack of Constantinople in 1204. Ain't very good to be honest. It's passable. Characters aren't relatable much, and the story is written kinda heavy handedly. Ofc these type of books should reflect gameplay, maybe this is why it feels a bit dry. Also it's too linear. The events in the books follow each other and there is no overlap, like in the VtM clan novels, where some of the events are shown from different perspective of the participants within some of the books. Despite the recurring characters this tool - which could potentially make it way more interesting - is entirely missing. I also don't like certain details like the blood laced wine (it's clearly was made up so the authors can write about vampires snipping from cups because that's liek medieval right?!). Maybe I can count one thing as a plus. The difference of the vampire unlife between the modern setting and this medieval one. Like the slow ass travel, and how the problems with it solved without techno-gadgets. I hope I'll finish it, it isn't much that keeps me going.
