The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice
4.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Anne Rice you are so crazy for this…. Lestat apparently they can make me love you……

The beginning and ending were a very strong 5⭐️ vibe. The middle portion at times had pacing issues, but I felt like Anne’s incorporation of history was very very interesting, and I can’t WAIT to see how to show retells this book oh my GODDDDDD. 

I can’t bring myself to give this book 5⭐️ though I loved it. Anne simply writes very questionable things at times. Her obsession with incestuous erotic undertones is so weird and bizarre, & this book definitely falls into some questionably orientalist tropes at times & I’m very interested to see how the show will handle this.
