okay, who knocked at my coffin?

I had yesterday off, but for once I spent it totally dead. I barely even checked LJ, and I don't remember any of the entries I read, so sorry if I missed something (I've already checked that artaxastra has two chapters of Napoleonic goodness I've yet to read). Hopefully I'm not coming down with anything :S

I'm reading the Coldfire trilogy - I'm three-quarters of the way into the first book and Tarrant is cool. Then again, I expected to like him. I tend to go this way with the über-vamps.

Friedman is really good in conveying human emotions like fear and temptations.

Hmm... their dynamic changes in the next books. I've always thought Dracula had the upper hand in his relationship with Van Helsing. Emotional manipulation and such.

yep.......

I agree with you:)

Oh, I don't think we quite understood each other - what I meant was my own version of the relationship during Dracula's lifetime. Especially in the as-yet-unwritten early years, I see it as a parallel - but with Gabriel as Tarrant with all his memories and bitterness and sin, and Vlad as Vryce with all his zeal and self-denial.

Ah, yes that would be very similar then.
