SHADOWBORN (Ravenloft Campaign)

I bought this book for the sole purpose of seeing how a paladin would function in Ravenloft, how the mists would react to his presence, how the Lords would deal with him. None of this is ever covered. In fact, the main character never becomes a paladin.

The story was mildly interesting and the authors did have some nice plot twists, but this did not read as a Ravenloft novel.

If you're looking for a good story this worth a try. If you're looking for a good Ravenloft book, look elsewhere.

the book hooked me right from the first page. the charcters were very interesting and the situation was intriging. unfortunatly the book loses it's momentum towards the end, breaking down into alot of combat, the story seemed to be lost in one battle after another. but having said that i still enjoyed reading it and it gives some interesting ideas. if you are a fan of the ravenloft series then give this one a read.

Shadowborn started extremly strong, that it had become almost impossible to put down. As the final battle between good and evil drew to its conclusion it seemed that it was just put together to really just end the book. This was one story that if you would love to see a paladin in the Ravenloft setting, it is one that should be read.

The book started out fast for the fist chapter or so and then slowed down until about the tenth chapter. The story had a lot of plot twists. It lacked any real interesting fights, but overall it was a good book.
