A review by _astridedwards_
Prince Lestat by Anne Rice
4.0
I first read [b:Interview with the Vampire|43763|Interview with the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles, #1)|Anne Rice|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1380631642s/43763.jpg|873132] as a teenager two decades ago. I fell in love with Lestat then (didn't we all?), but I distinctly fell out of love with The Vampire Chronicles as a whole in the years after [b:Memnoch the Devil|31338|Memnoch the Devil (The Vampire Chronicles, #5)|Anne Rice|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1301778006s/31338.jpg|2925946].
Lestat was a minor character - or depressed, lying prone on the floor of a Church - for many of those novels. It was entries into the Chronicles by Lestat himself that were always the most engaging, and here, in [b:Prince Lestat|21412673|Prince Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles #11)|Anne Rice|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1394635385s/21412673.jpg|40713679], Lestat is back and in fine form.
The novel is not perfect, but anyone who saw potential in the original Brat Prince will enjoy this work. And of course, this opens the way for new entries into the Chronicles, perhaps from the vampires (both ancient and young) who people this book, but as we would all prefer from the newly anointed Prince Lestat himself.
