Customer Reviews of Scholar of Decay (Ravenloft , No 12)

A book you can't put down!
This novel was an exceptional read, definitely one of the best Ravenlofts. The antagonists, the wererats, were clever villains that never failed to entertain and terrify. The main character, Aurek Nuiken, had a lot of pathos and was very interesting, however, his massive overconfidence caused me to feel less compassion for him and his predicament. The setting for most of the book was so well crafted that I felt I could see the hundreds of years old town and its decaying buildings and mist filled streets. The plot was intriguing and flowed well from one chapter to another; I was unable to put the book down. The ending was powerful and one that will stay with the reader forever. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories that grab hold of you and won't let go until the very last sentence. A thrilling story of horror, drama, and pathos. <

Exciting
This is an awesome book that really tells the story of a not-so powerful man. Not that the main character doesn't have a lot of strengths, though. Most Ravenloft books key in on the dark lords, this one keys in on a learned individual who has to use his wits to keep himself (and his brother) alive. Very entertaining with an EXCELLENT ending.

Extreme excitment.
As one reader states below, this is quite possibly the best written book I have ever read. It is not my favourite, but then, I only have 1 favourite. This book is exciting, if however, you like only action, this book may not be for you. This book attempts to be exciting by not only action, but intrigue and mystery. Tanya Huff did an superb job of characterization, and the ending is quite possibly the best ending in any book I've read. And no, I didn't just read this book, I've read about 15 books since, so this isn't some obsession with a great book I just read. It's an obsession with a great book that stuck with me.
