'The Enemy Within' in the Ravenloft series by Christie Golden is a tale that delves into the misinterpreted and confused history of Sir Tristen Hiregaard. The book presents a rousing and well-done narrative, although it deviates from the established canon of the series. The story unfolds in Nova Vaasa, a domain within Ravenloft known for its sparse backdrop of vast plains, poverty, and unique features like superior horses and plains cats. The plot revolves around a character who embodies both good and evil, exploring the complexities of morality within the gothic setting of Ravenloft.
The book is praised for its fusion of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde concept with the Ravenloft universe, providing a solid adventure tale with a great ending. Despite criticisms of the lack of fleshed-out details about Nova Vaasa, the gypsy culture is portrayed vividly. Readers appreciate the author's ability to create believable characters and a captivating narrative within the dark and mysterious world of Ravenloft.
