I'm sure Wilf is happy that Sword is finally gone!

Getting real tough to decide now.

I'm guessing Night Dragon would be favourite to go now, but it's an excellent one, there's a gradual reveal in it which makes it feel like a bit of a triumph, and an unfair fight that you can make very fair.

If only that big dragon had some kind of personality that would be perfect! In that book, just a big animal to me. My vote to go.

The thing doesn't even have any given name by any race/species nor does it communicate. The adventure is still badass though.

I'm sure Wilf is happy that Sword is finally gone! Not really - I don't dislike Sword. I just don't rate it as highly as all the other books from 11-19.
I do dislike Vault, though, but I don't expect it to disappear for a couple of rounds yet.

Although it is not my favourite, Vault is in my top 5. To me a flawless book. A perfect book. Fantastic atmosphere and a great villain. Katarina is also interesting. Very, very good.

Vault of the Vampire, a perfect atmospherical book, in risk of leaving before books such as night dragon?? (...) for me, that is simply wrong.

Can't vote against House of Hell, Talisman of Death, Creature of Havoc, or Vault of the Vampire, due to their creativity and the way they each introduced a new concept to the range.

At the moment, with only a few hours left, we have three books tied for second place, with one in first place. This will mean eliminating four books this round.

Legend of the Shadow Warriors suddenly shooting up to be instantly eliminated after zero bad words about it is a HUGE injustice! This tactical voting is absurd.

In my opinion, beneath nightmares castle is better than legend of the shadow warriors. Night of the Necromancer is also better than Legend. It is only a matter of opinion of the majority... For me, Crypt of the Sorcerer is better than all those books.

A top 1, the very best book, to one person, even if it is a book that is not one of the favourites for someone else, i think it surely need to have something really special, am i right? So, this tactical voting, should be made to choose a special top one, and in the end, we would see wich book of the all list would be inside that selection and wich would not. I guess the final list would have a maximum of 10 or 15 books - considering that the persons who could not choose only 1 single book, should loose the right to vote)

I'm surprised too but I must admit being one of the voters who don't write many comments... Btw, voted Vault and Night, as I'm not a fan of vampires and "after death" stories.

A selection like that certainly would not pass the ten books.
