Finally.......finished it......after 15 years, it was just recently, I got the book, imagine reading a trilogy, without book 2....
Garou ,White Wolf lore, were Gaia's(Mother Earth)soldiers, fighting against her nemesis - The Wyrm(spirit of corruption), being both blessed and cursed with the trait RAGE, this ability further enhances their spirit and strength, they were divided into tribes, 13 to be exact(these were the famous ones, although in succeeding years, more were introduced), The Stargazers(mystics), Get of Fenris(warriors), Silver Fangs(rulers), for the purpose of this review, I just gave the three that had a major impact in the novel, King Albrecht “the last Gaia King” from the Silver Fangs, Antonine Teardrop from the Stargazers.......and their counterpart the Black Spiral Dancers, garous possessed by the Wyrm.....
This is the second book of their “Time of Judgement trilogy”, the end times of the whole White Wolf universe, the first was for the vampires, and now it is The Apocalypse, wherein the Wyrm is set to devour Gaia, reading this without any knowledge of their shared universes might be a lot to digest for a casual reader, even I had a hard time following the story, reading any White Wolf novel, that is a feeling you might get, so many references, characters, abilities, the story was straight forward as can be, it felt like a movie that should have been a trilogy but was instead condensed into one, then fast forwarded to focus on the final fight......and then that cliffhanger(???!!!!).........
For 15 years, I hunted for this volume, White Wolf had the most unique take of these monsters, and honestly who does not love Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, Mummies(ohhhhh), as I have stated, reading any works, you have to have some knowledge, did I enjoy this gem, well a bit, imagine waiting for such a long time, then finally........reading it......anticipating this and that.........and(insert car braking)what happened...........your anticipation drops.....and ohhhh.....rises......then drops......until..........the book ends......
I wish they could have made it into 2-3 books, flesh out some of the characters, this was the Final Battle not just a battle, none of the grandiose war, more like a footnote.......”and so the Final Battle has begun........then.......end”!!!
