Personally, I felt that this was the best in the Ravenloft series. It is clear from the other reviews that I am in a bit of a minority, but that's OK. I am not one to read books more than once generally, but I have read Tapestry twice and will probably read it a couple more times.
Elaine succeeds in weaving a tale that is not immediately obvious and mondain in the way that many fantasy novels are. She paints a number of characters whose intentions are not immediately clear, who even shift as the story progresses. As such, the characters are all but flat. Characters whose nature changes through the progression of a novel are difficult to write, but Elaine shows a great capacity for doing just that.
Another positive characteristic of Tapestry is that it is original. The Ravenloft series has a horrible propensity towards poorly-written facsimiles of such great classics as Dracula and Frankenstein. As a result, the novel kept me guessing through-out.

This Ravenloft novel is only "hard to read" if you're working with a 5th grade education, or only read series tie-ins. The author takes time to develop atmosphere, establish relatively complex characters and situations, and chooses to suggest and insinuate rather than spell everything out, which leaves room for reader interpretation and results in a more satisfying read. "Tapestry of Dark Souls" feels like an actual horror novel rather than 350 page advertisement for a D&D expansion set. If you actually read horror, you'll probably like this one.

I have read a lot of books in this series and for the most part the books were very good. IMHO This book was long and accually took effort to finish and when I got to the end I was almost glad it was over. Story was ok, characters were ok and all in all the book was just OK.

I liked this ravenloft adventure very much. It became an obsession after I struggled through the very first (rather boring)chapter. Elaine didn't use the 'higher' Ravenloft-caracters and thats why she could do with her caracter what she wanted. It not an open ended story this time, its has a sad end, but that's Ravenloft. I preferred the Ravenloft adventures written by female writers, because it's not just the horror they are writer about, it goes much deeper. I should rather classify this novel as 'dark Fantasy' I loved it!!!
