I enjoyed some characters and ideas within the book but her writing style did not hook me in enough to continue reading.

This book was incredible. I loved getting to know the story of the Vampire Lestat and how complex he is, the only bit that was slow for me was Marius’ story but it was essential and still pretty cool to know. I am obsessed with Lestat
