Definitely liked this one better than IWTV, maybe I just enjoy Lestat as a narrator more haha. Prose was really beautiful at times, and reading about both Armand and Marius and their Becoming felt like a really cool history of the vampires thing. Excited to see Akasha wreak havoc in QotD (and for Devils Minion 🥰🥰) Also, Lestat talking about Louis and Claudia at the end,,,, my heart stop omg.
Minus some points for Lestat making out with his mom for a hundred pages uninterrupted, miss me with that shit. I get that becoming a vampire is supposed to completely detach you from who you were as a mortal but he still calls her Mother sometimes pls at least stop doing That lmao

“‘“But even before my time, a thousand years ago, this was all an old and incoherent story.”’”

Loved the deep dive into Lestat and M's POVs, as well as seeing L from Lestat's POV. Everyone is tragic and beautiful, and I adore Anne Rice's prose.

Taking off part of a star because the beginning of the book is a bit hard to get through … could have been the audiobook version though. I much prefer reading this one in print. This is probably my third read through?

I liked Interview with the Vampire and wanted to continue on, but mannn was this a slow read. The beginning was solid, there were enjoyable moments throughout, and the end was captivating. You would think all that together would mean it was a book that was hard to put down, but it was not. I needed to take breaks from the relentless extestensial crises. The middle of the book was so slow to me that I had to pick up another book to take a break from Lestat.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy the book, but to acknowledge that this book was maybe not a style that I enjoy as much as others do. What others may find deep and insightful, I found meandering and pedantic.
I appreciate it for what it is and am glad I read it, but would not reread this one.
