No me gustó tanto, fue después de la mitad del libro donde comenzó a ponerse interesante la historia, gracias a Marius.
Es más un 3.5/5.
Ya he acabado casi con la saga de vampiros de mi querida Anne, solo me falta Lestat and the Realms of atlantis, espero que la universidad me de tiempo para leerlo pronto.

I'm not particularly into vampire fiction, even as an avid Buffy fan -- it's another fad with a lot of crap and a few really spectacular pieces, much like any other genre has ever been. However, Anne Rice is good. Her vampires are people, but they retain their vampireness all the same. "Pandora" probably isn't the best example of her sagas, because it reads like one long, beautiful poem, but it's very good. I haven't read anything else by her yet; however, thanks to this, I plan to, especially if in her other books (as I've heard tell) she focuses more on narrative and plot than the flowery prose.

The most remarkable thing about this book is that Anne Rice wrote a book with a strong female main character that remains in her point of view the entire time, and at no point is she ever overshadowed by a man. And that right there is why Pandora is the most iconic of the original Ricean vampires.

A slim volume that doesn't add much of anything to the mythology and pretty much serves as a masturbatory exercise in regurgitating the historical research Rice has done. She loves her some history and isn't afraid to use it!
