Johannes Cabal
review 1: This one was tough for me to rate. It does have a stronger plot than the first book, but it lacks some of the outrageously acidic humour of it too. The mood is completely different, as this is a mystery novel and not a dark fantasy one and Cabal remains his delightful self -as always. I liked how his having a soul turned out and how the character evolved without becoming all goody good. However, I did get tired near the end, which felt a bit dragged out to me. I liked Cabal's chemistry with Leonie Barrow and with Count Marechal, but I missed Horst. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and entertaining read and the short story included was great.
review 2: As always, Cabal never disappoints! Let's just say if Sherlock was ever a Necromancer this would be he. Back of
... more course, Sherlock would need to be German and have blond hair. Cabal is slowly becoming my favorite character. Who can resist a logical, left brained, scientist/necromancer? Not I. Not I. Excellent to the end and of course there is the final tale at the end of the book to tell you of Cabal's exploits on his way out! less

Fantastically written! The main character is mysterious and wonderful. Sort of a murder mystery.
