shakespearesgirl 's review for:
The Queen of the Damned
by Anne Rice
I had a whole, analytical review written out for this, but I lost it because I had to restart my computer for updates. :(
Maybe next time I read this, I'll do a full analysis again, but for now, an overview: this book is much gorier than the other two, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but should be noted for people who dislike gore in their horror; this book has some pretty blatant issues with racism as the only two people clearly stated to be characters of color are Enkil and Akasha, who are the villains; while I suspect Rice was trying to go for a Tolkien-esque ending where you find out what happens to everyone after the main conflict, since Lestat was the one narrating it just felt really long and drawn out and boring.
