When the BODY THIEF permanently borrows the body. INSERT SURPRISED FURRETT
Pure gay chaos. Out of the entire Vampire Chronicles series so far, this one is easily the most lighthearted and honestly? I’m living for it. The tone shift from Queen of the Damned to this had me cackling.
Box of earth. I am officially calling my cat’s litterbox that from now on.
But the real MVPs of this book? Lestat and David. Their dynamic is just chef’s kiss. Their moments together carried this book from start to finish.
That said, I would have loved to get Raglan’s POV for just a hot second. Like, what was going through that man’s mind? Spill the tea, sir! But I get why we didn’t Anne already gave us so many POVs in Queen of the Damned that she knew we needed a break.
Would I recommend? 1000%. If you’re a fan of Lestat causing problems on purpose, this one is for you.
