Customer review of: Vampire Hunter D Volume 10: Dark Nocturne (Vampire Hunter D)
|
Customer Rating:      Summary: Interesting short stories but they were very inconsistent with D's character Comment: This is the 10th novel in the Vampire Hunter D series. This novel is different from previous novels in that it is actually a collection of three novellas. I didn't realize this when I purchased the book. It was interesting to read short stories about D; I think this material lends itself to a short story type format.
The above being said this was probably the worst installment in the Vampire Hunter D series yet. The first story (after which the book is named) is just off. D had a flippant attitude that is very unlike his normal stoic demeanor. In fact the character of D didn't seem to be like D at all; for a second I thought Zorro had stepped in to take D's place. All of the characters in this story were a bit off; the whole story was out of context and out of place.
The remaining two stories were more in keeping with D's character; although D seemed to be a little more chatty than normal in the second story too. I was a bit disappointed overall because part of the reason I enjoy these books is the slow and reluctant unfolding of D's character. These stories undermined that by changing D's character willy-nilly and confusing me about who I was reading about.
The book was okay. The first story awful, the second two somewhat interesting. I am excited for the next book because that is supposed to go back to the original Hunter D format.

Customer Rating:      Summary: D comprised in short stories Comment: I loved the way this was written. It is in 3 short stories and each one is wonderful. D rides a different colored horse in one of them and they are definitley not lacking in action. I highly recommend this novel.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A collection of short stories. Not as good as full length ones. Comment: I like the Vampire Hunter D series of books. Not too keen on this one though. It's a collection of three short stories. While the scenarios are in keeping with the world D lives in (full of supernatural monsters in the year 12090AD), D seems to be written out of character, as he talks too much. In all his other proper books, he is a person of few words and rarely startled.
In hindsight, I would skipped this book and waited for the next one, which I think will be a doozy.

Editorial Reviews:
|
In the title story, "Dark Nocturne," D is hired to unlock the secret of a siren's song that is drawing men in their twenties to their deaths in the hills outside Anise Village. In "Notes on Imagined Autumn" D finds himself caught between two lovers during a ritualistic sacrifice in the village of Shirley's Door, but if D can't stop the sacrifice will all in the village be doomed? And in "Legend of the War Demons" two living weapons, genetically engineered creatures who are the last remnants of a war waged hundreds of years in the past, find that battle is not so easily forgotten. It's up to D to stop their unending conflict before it consumes the present as it did the past.
