At first I didn't think much of vampires in the mist but as the story progressed it dawned on me how good it actually was. I thought it would be another story of hammy dialogue, cardboard characters, and unsatisfactory endings. But I was wrong on all counts, the character of Jander Sunstar was surprisingly very deep and conflicted. The final resolution at the end of the story suited him well I think, the side characters were enjoyable to an extent as well. Strahd stole the show of course as he does in every ravenloft novel that he is in. But by the end I felt as if the dark lord himself was the true loser, a villain in perpetual agony left to ponder the vagaries of his black fate.

I liked The Enemy Within. It's world building characters and atmosphere were some of the best in the ravenloft series. But after I listened to the story, I felt as if there was some important part to the book that I had missed. The ending is true to this as it leaves unresolved problems and many questions unanswered. Maybe that was the intended effect. To subject the listener to the same dark forces that corrupted once good rulers to shadowy lords ruling over realms of dread. In the end leaving them with more questions than answers and with less than what they started with.

I personally love the Ravenloft setting, but this story had a few grating issues that made me not enjoy the story. First of all are the characters, Soth was a crotchety old bastard most of the time which really made him seem like a npc in a video game. This goes for most of the characters in the Knight of the Black Rose, they all seem like cardboard cutouts of real people in a way. Except of course for Strahd who is more interesting and animated than all of the cast combined. It was a strain to listen to the antiheroes backstory, the only memorable parts of the book were the parts with Strahd which I enjoyed very much.

I liked the expansions out of Barovia into the lands of dread, read the I Strahd books if you want to see more of them. I read through half the sequel book and so far it features no Strahd or Barovia so I wouldn't recommend it. So for that I gave it a Three out of Five.
