This is a pretty good story. The characters are all great. The plot didn't grab me though. It's probably just me, but stories about putting on plays don't capture my attention. I felt the same about The Ship Who Sang. It's still a good story and very well written. Many of the descriptions are fantastic and paint a vivid image.
I have to admit to having very different expectations for the story. I certainly wasn't expecting to see vampires pal-ing around with mortals. I'm an Undead warband leader from my Mordheim days and although I haven't cared about vampires for a long time I was hoping this would be a bit more evil.
It's a bit of a Cluedo adventure, or a horror movie where the killer is in the house (Captain Obvious; I'm sure you gathered that much from the blurb). I enjoyed it mostly for the in-universe history, part of an ongoing quest to learn more about warhammer lore.
