I love Vampire the Masquerade, I loved the variant cover, and I'll continue to buy these books. Vampire The Masquerade: Winter's Teeth volume 1 is a dark and rich vampiric read filled with dynamic characters and political intrigue that will leave you wanting to more. I'm especially curious about how Cecily and Ali's relationship will develop. I am looking forward to getting to know them more in the next volumes. The are quite a few characters, which can be difficult to work with, but enough of their personalities came through in their limited number of scenes that I found I was able to connect with most of them. I think I'm most looking forward to seeing more of the nosferatu and how the political transition will play out.Īs much as I loved the world-building and the politics, I think the strength of the story still lies with the characters. I loved getting a glimpse of where the different factions fit.

The political landscape of the Twin Cities was fascinating to read. Everything was also well-incorporated into the story that there are no huge information text dumps. But all of it is done in such a way that I didn't find it confusing. There's lots going on with world-building, character introductions, different vampiric factions, and political dynamics. This single volume impressively packs a lot in it. I have zero knowledge of the game but as far as I can tell that didn't impede my understanding of the story. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eCopy in exchange for an honest review.īefore I read this, I didn't know that this was based on a tabletop role playing game.
