To be honest this book just wasn't for me but those graphics were beautiful. The small romance scene was weird and overall I just felt like the story was all over the place. The graphics were really what kept me going. I did find the concept interesting and maybe I would like the novel more, so maybe I will give that a try.

Good as always from Anne Rice, but a little depressing in my opinion. I say read on a nice sunny day lol.

Personal rating: 3.5 stars
I didn't know Anne Rice published a graphic novel! I was so excited when I picked it up. For some reason I thought that I read the novel before but I didn't. The story was new to me. I worried that it might be different from reading a regular novel but Anne Rice's style was preserved in this graphic novel. It had the same spiritual, mystical feeling to it. The author's introduction to the book is very sweet as well.
The art is gorgeous! I think the art on its own deserves 5 stars! Azriel is so beautiful! I wish the same artists would do Vampire Chronicles!
Chapters are introduced by art panels and poems by Stan Rice.
I liked the novel but I can't give it a higher rating because it was short and because of that I felt disconnected from the characters. At times the plot didn't make much sense (but it does happens with Anne Rice novels - you sort of have to go with the flow), emotional connections seemed superficial, and events at times felt disjointed.
I did enjoy it still, and the ending was good. I just feel that I, perhaps, would have enjoyed the plot more if I read the novel beforehand.

Nice art, really flimsy story. At some point, I realized I was on the brink of dozing off every time I picked this up, and that was probably for a reason. It's really more of the same old Anne Rice - immortal being talking about himself and being sad about life. It could have been good, if only the execution was better.

Terrible. So bad that I started to wonder if it was made as a sort of satire or spoof. Unfortunately, it looks like the nonsense plot is faithful to the original novel and is possibly as baffling. I wouldn't even recommend this as a B-Movie equivalent, as the laughably bad parts are mostly near the end, after a slog of pointless prologue. So many monologue pile-ups. Ugh.
The coloring was good, at least. The letterer needed a better edit pass.
