5.0

There were so many fantastic and visceral components to this book that even though it was a bit lackluster as a composite whole, I have to give it 5 stars. I think the framing device of it being Lestat's autobiography falls short of its intended goal, as it goes underutilized to truly justify the callback to Interview. But, it's a very intense, emotional book although I'd urge readers to be mindful of the trigger warnings.

Lestat is one of my first crushes so my love of this book is purely nostalgic. I love my trash vampire and his completely over the top, dramatic flair.
