This was an awesome read. There's enough story-seeds to run multiple campaigns, and the dynamics between characters are great -- you see the same events from multiple perspectives, and you see why those perspectives are so different. The care and time that went into the story-crafting is really clear, way better than plenty of better-known authors. I was new to Vampire when I started reading this book. Now I categorize people by which Clan they'd belong to (and that clerk was totally a Malkavian, for the record). Cannot recommend highly enough! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
