My favorite out of the trilogy. Took me a long time to get through because of the detail ( a lot of it just completely unnecessary imo) I find these books quite heavy reading.

Obligé d'enlever une étoile à cause de l'arc Marius qui m'a paru durer une éternité. C'était objectivement intéressant, on en apprend bcp plus sur la création des premiers vampires etc. Mais j'arrivais pas à m'y intéresser, ça m'a trop coupé dans mon élan ! Du coup j'étais juste agacé en lisant ces passages !
J'avais envie de revoir Lestat et les autres

Ok I’ll be honest: I only reread this book because of the new phenomenal show, just so I could start the next installment and find out about Armand and Daniel’s story.
I love Anne Rice’s worldbuilding skills — she’s one of those authors who can write real weight into her supernatural worlds and make them feel real. Sadly, there’s also much about her writing I don’t like and never have — the excessive wordiness, the wallowing, the disregard for female characters, and newly the whitewashing of which I hadn’t been previously aware. So while I have real fondness for this world and the first book (in no small part thanks to the wonderful and very much emo 1994 movie), I think I’ll just push on to and through the Devil’s Minion chapter and be done with it. At least unless the show’s next season sparks my curiosity again.
PS — Lestat is SUCH a Mary Sue. Holy damn I forgot that entirely from my first-time read. “I don’t know how to be bad at being bad.” Haha you don’t know how to be bad at anything, darling dear.
PPS — Is it just me or is the excuse Lestat never taught his fledglings anything because Marius forbade him to mention Akasha… kind of lame?
