Everything with Claudia and Louis, as well as Armand and his "boy," left me very unsettled. I think I'll give book 2 a try, but any hint of sexualizing small children, or any children really, and I'm never touching anything written by her again.

The descriptive and poetic prose can’t distract me from the horrific preoccupation with children’s necks and mouths. The repeated use of the words “sensual” and “womanly” and “alluring” to describe a child vampire is honestly too much. The melodrama, the lush atmosphere, the homoerotic subtext(and at times just text) are all lovely. But armed with the knowledge that Claudia was inspired by Anne Rice’s recently deceased daughter, I finished this book baffled and uncomfortable.

Started out so good! But as I got further in, I realized that the pace and storytelling had some problems. It could have been so much shorter. There were a lot of mini-plots without much of an overarching plot. I was confused as to why a lot of things happened. Including the pedophelia, what’s with that? Also, SPOILER WARNING: that dang vampire Lestat just wouldn't die! It was so frustrating. On a more positive note, the vibes were the best part of the book. It was so immaculately gothic.

Anyone who says this book isn’t pedophilic is lying to themselves and others. Louis and Lestat were interesting characters, but there was no actual reason for Claudia to be a kindergartner outside of shock value and taboo. This book made me genuinely uncomfortable.
