review 1: What if the Artful (paper from 47North) Dodger met up with the future Queen Elizabeth and fought vampyres with Bram Van Helsing. Peter David takes this silly concept and turns it into a fun melodrama, mixing in characters from Oliver Twist like Fagin and Fang (now vampyres) and using a style that easily could have come from the pen of Mark Twain. It starts with the princess deciding to leaver her palace (where she was tightly controlled by her parents) to see the real England and runs into the Dodger who turns out to be a gentleman is thieves clothing. What a giggle.Review printed in the Philadelphia Weekly Press
review 2: I was torn on this one. I almost stopped reading after the first three chapters because of the writing style copying that of Charles Dicke... morens. I read a couple of reviews and learned that others were nonplused with the writing style but that it didn't last into the book. Fortunately they were right and in the end I enjoyed the story enough to give it 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4 since there isn't a 3.5 option). less
