It’s a little goofy but call me a jester cause I’m strapped in for the ride

Es uno de los libros que menos me gustaron de Anne Rice. Quizá por tener el prejuicio de la película (que también es una de las peores películas de vampiros que he visto. Incluso peor que Crepúsculo).
La trama se siente apurada. Como que la autora le da mucha más importancia a Lestat jugando a ser famoso, y se olvida de explicar a fondo la historia importante, la de los primeros vampiros del mundo.
De cierta forma, esto se compensa un poco en otros libros de la saga. Pero este título te deja con gusto amargo en la boca.

agradezco haber terminado este libro. qué aburrido resultó. lo único interesante fue akasha, de resto, a dormir. ¿seguiré leyendo las crónicas? bueno, ya veremos.

I guess I liked it? I can't quite put it into words, but I did feel at one point that I personally never need write a vampire novel because the one I'd write has already been written... ish. She is unnecessarily wordy though, good grief.

I wanted to love this book, I really did, but something about this book just didn't allow me to get into it. I read the first few pages, but I didn't like the voice of the novel.
