i would rate this higher if the book didnt start the way it did and didn’t lapse into the same poor writing as at the start, and didn’t unnecessarily drag. also some aspects of this certainly did not age well lol. but some really did, like the 80s rock vibes were really fun!
overall, this was really interesting and a great expansion and set up to what’s coming with the series. lestat is still a shithead but i like him a bit more, and am DEFINITELY way intrigued about akasha and armand. looking forward to diving more into this universe!
