A review by catevari
Castle of Horror by Barbara Hambly
4.0
Bride of the Rat God is, hands down, my favorite of Hambly's books and so being able to read more about those characters was delightful in and of itself. Norah, Alec, Christine and the Pekes are all present and very much themselves. Even Ambrose Conklin makes a cameo and I was surprised at how pleased I was by his appearance.
The story itself, being short, was very straightforward, but my only real complaint about it--and I should put complaint in sarcastic quotes--is just that it's all too short. I'd really like to read more about the characters we know and the new characters Hambly introduces. I wonder if Hambly might ever try to do what more authors are experimenting with now and do a kickstarter for a new novel in this world. I'd certainly contribute.
