Pandora by Anne Rice
4.0
I've been reading all the Vampire Chronicles and New Tales of the Vampires in order, which means I took a break from the main series to read this one. It has Rice's flawless style which I love so much. But if comparing to the Vampire Chronicles, it's really totally quite different. Whereas the other novels tell the stories as they are happening, the New Tales of the Vampires is told in a sort of "diary" format or retelling of their past up to the present. (However, having started The Vampire Armand, the next in the Vampire Chronicles, it's written that way too.)
Personally, Pandora is my favorite vampire so far. She's such an eloquent, classy, and intelligent woman who doesn't buy into all the gender roles and does as she pleases. She's quick to outwit anyone but isn't boastful about it nor does she consider it to be fun and games—it's just her nature. Therefore, I truly recommend this to anyone that loves Rice's vampires and wants a more personal, first hand account into one of their lives.
