 Not great, but not bad either. December 5, 2002

Unlike a couple of other books in the Ravenloft series, this one at least fits the mood of Ravenloft in my opinion. I didn't think it was an outstanding book like some other people are saying, but it was worth reading. My only real hangup with this book was the rather humdrum ending. Bottom line, if you got the time and money, check out this book. But don't lose any sleep over it if you can't find it because it wasn't a *killer book* like "Vampire of the Mists", "Knight of the Black Rose", or "I, Strahd".

Christie Golden is quickly becoming my favorite TSR author next to R.A. Salvatore. This book had a very human and easily relatable heroine while staying true to the Ravenloft tradition of a supremely powerful domain lord. The Southern imagery and Cajun colloquialisms contributed a great deal to the story. The ending was very well done as well.

Dance of the Dead was probably the Ravenloft novel I enjoyed the most. Instead of focusing on some Omnipotent Beings angst-ridden fight against themselves, the book focuses on the life and mind of a 'normal' person native to the Plane. The book moves a bit slow, avoiding the combat heavy tactics favored in most D&D novels to distract you from the paper thin characterization, and takes its time showing you who the heroine is through her actions. This is a good thing. By the end of the book, it is fairly easy to identify with her. I reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys tone and mood over displays of gore.
Good enough, but... May 29, 2000

It has some good elements about the places and the characters, but some situations are comically presented (Killer Rabbits!) that spoil the whole dark mood.

It's a shame when quality fiction goes out of print... and that's what seems to be happening to 'Dance of the Dead.' This is one of the finest novels published as part of TSR's Ravenloft line, and Larissa Snowmane is one of the most memorable figures created for the setting.I liked Christie Golden's take on Souragne and Anton Misroi so much that when it came time for to rework the Ravenloft game setting for 'Domains of Dread' that I made sure the land was reshaped to be closer to the novel than it had been in previous presentation. If you have an interest in dark fantasy or the gothic horror genre, track down a copy of this book. You won't regret it.
