    This had the potential to be excellent. But sadly missed the mark
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2016*

This had the potential to be excellent. But sadly missed the mark. Like so many others trying to capture the "real" Vlad Tepes, Humphreys has an epic failure in not knowing much about the Orthodox Church. The translation of Hagia Sophia is not St. Sophia. It's Holy Wisdom. Orthodox don't pray the Rosary, they use a Chotki, in Greek - Kombuskini. They don't use wafers, they use Prosphora. Leaven bread, baked with the image of the Lamb. Just one more thing the East and the West fought over. While churches in the area are Byzantine, they are NOT GREEK. They are Slavic. Their liturgy is in Old Church Slavonic.Humphreys doesn't even bother with the sheer devastation Vlad Tepes felt at the capture of Constantinople. What did the Muslims do there? Impaled the Christians. All of them. That's what he was avenging. Constantinople, formerly Byzantium, is the mother of the Byzantine Church - with all her Rites. That was a HUGE turning point in his life. Yet it barely gets mentioned.It was a fun read. He's an entertaining writer. But I found it difficult to take any of it as "researched" when he so glaringly dropped the ball on such a major component in the life of Vlad Tepes.

    Fascinating Dark Portrayal of the Wallachian Impaler Prince
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017*

Humphreys' book is a fascinating portrayal of Vlad Dracula, the Prince of Wallachia. It is written as a narrative "confession" from Dracula's friend, lover, and confessor, those who knew him best. It doesn't touch on the fantasy of the vampire; rather, it discusses Dracula's ongoing battle with Mehmet, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.The book IS dark - there are lots of impalements, plenty of battles, and more than a few cringe-worthy scenes - but Humphreys does a great job of showing both sides of Vlad's character. It is left to the reader to decide whether Vlad was a hero or, as many seem to have labeled him, "the Devil's son."One factor that I found really interesting was the tie between the Carpathian region and the Middle East, and the ongoing struggles between them. I didn't realize how intense that fight was at the time, and how real the echoes of those struggles were for the current troubles in the region.Disclaimer here: I've met Humphreys and really learned a lot from him, and am proud to call him friend.Still, I find "Vlad" to be a well-written piece, especially for those interested in both the myth and the reality, or for anyone interested in stories that remind us that the history of the Crusades still echo today.

    A difficult novel to write, an important accomplishment, but an uneven result
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020*

The author's considerable achievement here is to make a plausible character out of the widely known caricature of Vlad the Impaler.  The brutality of his youthful hostage situation among the Turks and the omnipresent treachery and violence of his home region help to explain how he would find extremely vicious methods an effective strategy to subdue opponents and insure peace in his realm.  Given his small realm, limited resources and his being surrounded by constant threats from greater powers, he had few alternatives.  In this novel, one begins to understand Vlad and his approach -- no small accomplishment.That said, the novel has structural problems.  The "confession" format is awkward throughout the novel.  The novel begins quite slowly as this format is established, at times in ways confusing to the reader.  Its best passages occur that format is absent and we follow the Vlad the hostage, warrior and politician.  The romantic scenes are simply ponderous, add little impetus to the narrative, and can be skimmed with little loss to the reader.But to begin to understand why Vlad the Impaler behaved as he did, read this novel.
