Most of the books in this series have been about the overarching plotline, and just happened to have a main character or three of the Clan in question. But in CN: Giovanni, we find ourselves immersed in the workings of the Clan, from the ghouls and grunts in Vegas to the manipulators and movers in Europe.

As said elsewhere, it points the focus away from the ongoing plot in order to show these workings, but it gives this book more merit as something that could stand on its own apart from the series. In fact, this is definetly the novel that could ~best~ stand apart from the series.

CN: Setite was my personal favourite, but this one gave it a run for its money. As with much White Wolf fiction, writing quality falters here and there, but overall it produces a worthwhile read, and the first of the series that I finished in one sitting.

For me this book started off a little slow and I was beginning to think the choise of Justin Achille as author was bad, but aboult half way through the book picked up dramatically and from then on I couldn't put it down. I especially like the way the book depicts the full range of Giovanni Vampires' personalities and abilities, this is one category the other books in the series did not do as well at. I did feel at times though that this book was a side story to the rest of the series, but with three books left, we shall see. If the book had drawn me in from the beginning, I would have given it 5-stars, but since it took me sticking to it as a result of the rest of the series, I give it a lower rating, but in conclusion, Justin did good. I Recommend this book, but you gotta stick through the slow bits.

This book has an odd structure- a mini-trilogy of consecutive plots: the search for Benito Giovanni, negotiations with the Camarilla and Sabbat about control of Boston, and, finally, the rattling of some skeletons in clan Giovanni's closet. I can't say much was accomplished. Even the resolution of the "Benito thing" raised more questions than it answered. The book continued subplots from much earlier books and I had trouble remembering what they were about.

But guess what? I didn't care about any of this because the book was so well written it ceased to matter. Achilli seems to be especially good at writing chilling little vignettes. His Sabbat, for example, are scarier in one paragraph than they were in the two whole books in the CLAN NOVEL series dedicated to them- and one of those (TZIMISCE) is one of the strongest installments in the series.

The book presents the diversity of the Giovanni clan well- especially the differences between the Old World Giovanni with their necromancy and the New World Giovanni with their more mundane mob involvement. It takes a break from the following the larger developments in the series to focus on the story of two Giovanni- the New World mobster Chas and the Old World negotiator Isabel. I've read the previous books in the series but I think I would have been able to enjoy this even if I hadn't.

The first part of the book focused on the brutal, crude and very foul-mouthed New World Giovanni. (Without the profanity it seemed like the book would have been around 100 pages shorter- but there's a reason for it.) Mafia novels don't do much for me and this gave the book a slow start. Still it managed to combine a mob story with a vampire story without seeming silly. Later, there is a look at the venerable necromancer Ambrogino at his work and some creepy glimpses at the ancient past of the Cappadocians. There's some great jungle-rotting decadence set in New Orleans as well. One of the things that the book handles best is the toll which the Giovanni flaw (they cause pain when they feed) takes on members of this clan over time as they strive to maintain their humanity. It's not quite as blatantly bleak a portrayal of vampiric existance as CLAN NOVEL: GANGREL but it's pretty disturbing perhaps because it's so subtle- at least at first.
