*goodreads deleted my first review so I’ll try to channel the unaltered emotion that I felt when I wrote it*
WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT DID I JUST READ.
to anyone who said the second book wasn’t as good as the first book disrespectfully don’t ever give me a book recommendation ever again.
ANNR RICE. YOU DAMN GENIUS. YOU LITERARY MASTERMIND.
How could you publish something so meaningfully tragic *curls into a ball and starts sobbing*
Penny for your thoughts madam? Or rather, quote for your time?
“For the moment, death is spoiling life for you, that’s all. But life is more important than death. You’ll realize it soon enough.” ✨

Talk about gothic horror!! This book was WAYYY better than interview with the vampire for me. Am I a Lestat apologist now?? Maybe!!

found Lestat and this book to be less compelling then IwtV if I'm being quite honest. I found the first half or so to be a chore to sit through and I felt it only picked up steam once

  his mom was turned

and introduction of Armand and Marius who added quite a bit of interesting worldbuilding.
