so good. wish it was longer. makes me sad not all the vampire chronicles are like this. such an interesting setting, really love pandora. marius still sucks but Pandora is a queen. just a solid book. would recommend this over the main vampire chronicles any day. reading this evokes the same emotion in me as the song She Took My Soul in Istanbul by Marc Almond. hope that makes sense.

I belive a big issue with this book is that it's supposed to be a seperate series than her other novels but the lore ties so heavily and isn't explained that if you havent read enough of her other books you're like wtf to a few things. The first half was interesting. Finding out how this quirky woman Pandora became a vampire in the Roman empire. About her life before and after that. Then, it just becomes okay what did Pandora do between that point and now. Which was a lot more boring and had feelings of "why should I care"?
