Podría decir tanto de este libro, pero solo me quedaré con que el libro a su modo es sorprendente y al mismo tiempo repetitivo, pero no me molesta, muy por el contrario.
Algo que amo profundamente de la escritura de esta señora, es la manera tan sutil de llevar al antiguo Egipto, hacerte ver todo a tu alrededor, sentir el lugar, olerlo, verlo en detalles los vestuarios, las costumbres, sus creencias, un poco de su cultura en general, y cómo poco a poco mezcla hechos históricos a su historia, y sus personajes tan complejos, tan cambiantes de acuerdo a sus ambiciones.
Me encanta este libro, sin embargo, hay cosas que no terminaron de gustarme mucho, detalles que no afectan la historia, (pero sí su puntuación para mi).
Espero más de los siguientes libros, estoy ansioso, por seguir esta interminable saga.

Estaba entre las dos y las tres estrellas. En comparación a entrevista y Lestat he tenido muchísimas dificultades para conectar con este. La idea me parece guay pero el cómo está narrado me ha pesado una barbaridad.
Además lo que se refiere a Akasha no me convence.

I started reading this series because it was handy and I'd always been a little curious; by the end of this one I'd exhausted my curiosity. That's not to say I didn't like it; while it didn't turn things around quite as much as #2 did there were plenty of surprises, and one thing in its favor was that it didn't lag anywhere the way the first two did (at points) -- probably because this one braided many story lines, from many different characters. Also, it did a terrific job of refining and expanding its mythology (ie, the origin of vampires) in a very original way that, as before, ties in evocatively with all sorts of human myths and archetypes. That was probably my favorite aspect of it, really.
But it wound up far too epic, which meant that I could very nearly predict the exact events of the climax about 100 pages out. What's more, the narrators of the first two stories did not seem to act true to type -- and I mean the type I took it to be implied they were, not the type they try to convince you they are -- and a few other characters take actions which are clearly out of character (eg, a vampire who in a lifetime of centuries has never created another out of principle, just up and does so) demanded an explanation which never materialized.
I enjoyed reading it, to be sure, but after this one I went on wikipedia and read synopses of several others to cure me of the temptation of reading them. A limited dose of an author who does more or less the same thing (brilliantly, granted, and with different ornamentation each time) is probably best.

Los dos primeros me encantaron éste tiene cosas que hacen que el tercero no me haya gustado tanto como me esperaba además de que después de leerme los tres primeros, voy a hacer un alto en mi periplo vampiril ya que cuando tardas tres meses en leerte un libro para mí es señal de que hay que meter otro tipo de lecturas de por medio si no voy a aborrecer la historia que me está contando Rice y no queremos que pase eso. Me gusta mucho todo lo de la Talamasca pero los personajes nuevos menos los de la Gran Familia me caen fatal entonces cada vez que ocurría un capítulo centrado en ellos pues tardaba semanas en leerlos y con razón. Bueno y el melón que es Akasha? Que hacemos con ella? No quiero entrar en muchos spoilers pero buff me parece más un argumento que un personaje
