In this collection, follow the dark immortal from ancient Greece to the present as the tales of his timeless life are recounted. Also included is a brief essay by the author about her world-renown vampire, with an Introduction by Sharon A. Russell. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Twenty Sixth of the Saint Germain Series.Or twenty first, if you don't count the spinoff novels about Atta Olivia Clemens and Madeline de Montalia, two women who came into the vampiric life through their connections with Saint Germain. This collection is an interesting concept; a collection of five short works, centered by a novella, with the second and fourth stories being mid-length between a short story and a novella, and the opening and closing stories being proper short stories. For longstanding fans of the series like ... Read More Rating: - A nice addition to the Saint Germain talesThis group of stories covers the range from short story to novella. I've been reading Yarbro's Saint Germain series so long, it seems like catching up on old times. I love her attention to historical detail.

While it's more a companion piece than a stand alone, it was a great read. Rating: - Excellent shorter Saint-Germain storiesUnlike most of the Saint-Germain stories, these stories are similar to small snapshots of his life, from Ancient Greece to present-day Canada. The first story The Harpy is a small but excellently-turned story about family members who suffer in a famous man's shadow. The next story, Lost Epiphany, was more choppy, I thought it needed a bit of lengthening, and it seemed to be a fragment rather than a complete story. The third story, Tales Out of School, was more in the fashion of CQY's longer works, ... Read More |
