This book was quite enjoyable though as I've experienced TVC so far, they only tend to really get me hooked well beyond the halfway mark.
The pacing issues are still present, though not as pronounced this time around, mostly on the start of it.
This book was refreshing in that it didn't have an absurd amount of characters, just a very crucial few that happened to be extremely infuriating. The title character was unbearable but as a villain it's to be expected. The issue is that when your other main character is also an antihero and insufferable there's just too much of that to go around and nobody to root for but a dog.
I believe that after finishing it, if i had to guess what Rice's purpose was with this book it would've been to maybe make it so people really saw Lestat the way he truly is in her eyes. I think the readers are Talbot and Rice is guiding the tiger towards us and trying to remind us that it's not just a big cat.
Surprised to say that I really enjoyed Louis in this book. He's always felt very underwhelming as a character though I assumed it was planned that way to make Lestat stand out more.
I got spoiled majorly about this book and yet it still hurt more than I thought it would.
Time to move onto the next one.
