Slightly better than book 1 cause Lestat is just quite the character. The middle is SOOO slow, but the ending is REALLY good. TBH I had to look up a chapter summary on reddit which gave me life and the ability to finish this. Only really stuck with it cause I was reading it with friends so that we can watch the Queen of the Damned movie together :')

Lestat takes warnings and "no's" as just encouragement. Quoting a line from the book:
“Lestat, what did I say last night?” he asked. “You are the damnedest creature!”

That's it. That's the vibe of this entire book.

Moderate: Stalking, Alcoholism, Kidnapping, Alcohol, Sexual content, and Adult/minor relationship

Minor: Misogyny

Adding all the content warnings I could think of for this book was a freaking TRIP. This book is not for the faint of heart. A lot of heavy topics are presented here, but I think they're handled well.
