This book was a wild ride. I found Lestat as a narrator super unreliable but it just added to the intrigue. Answered so many questions I had after Interview, and left me with even more. 
I will say it was a lot to have
not one but two different of Lestat’s mothers become romantic figures to him.
can’t wait to start on the next book!

Lestat's story is a weak framing device for the more interesting characters' backstories and the very compelling world mythology. He's a secondary character in his own story, but it's fine because I'd rather have Rice keep digging further into the past.
dark slow-paced

Finally I finished!!!! Ok so if it wasn’t for the lat 150 pages, I probably would have given this book three stars. I know this book is important so we can understand Lestat’s origin story and understand him better, it was just sooo boring. It took me forever to get through it, but I breezed through the last 150 pages. I’m glad I finally finished it. I had started this book a couple of years ago and had stopped reading it, but I’m happy I pushed through now. I am excited for the next one and I hope it doesn’t disappoint me. I love the movie because it reminds me of my mom and I know the book will be nothing like it, but I’m excited for it to fill in the blanks for me and give me more!
