dark
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Absolute serve from start to finish. The only reason I can’t give it the full five stars is because it did have moments where I felt like I was mentally speedwalking through a fog some parts were hard to follow. But everything I did understand? Ate. It. Up. No crumbs left. Plate is missing too.
The lore drops were such a treat, The story of the twins and Khayman? Amazing. Those bits of darkness scratched the itch for depravity.
The ensemble cast was the real moment, though. Seeing everyone come together? Cinema. Especially Armand and Daniel. Anne Rice, if you’re listening from those ghetto clouds, we deserved a whole spin-off series for those two. Even the newbies like Jesse and Eric were delightful additions.
Let’s talk about Akasha, though. Mother Akasha, She served the whole book. She mothered hard, unty with a c, devoured, and then mothered again.
Overall, this was my favorite book in the series so far. My ranking as of now:
1. Queen of the Damned
2. The Vampire Lestat
3. Interview with the Vampire
