honestly I wasn’t convinced i was gonna continue the vampire chronicles at the end of IWAV, but right from the start this book got me interested. well maybe not RIGHT from the start but once Lestat started talking about his past. I loved his melodrama, the way he turns everything into a philosophical puzzle to be solved. And unpopular opinion lol but I like that Anne Rice made the vampires not care about human conventions like incest and age gaps, it shows how they are fundamentally changed from human kind. Even if these are still meant to be morally questionable actions, the modern vampires all maintain that they are evil creatures so why shouldn’t they commit horrific social crimes??? they kill people lol . Ultimately, i can understand why some people wouldn’t enjoy a book that happens mostly in someone’s thoughts and memory but boy is it my cup of tea, i’m so excited to read the next one
