I was so happy when this ARC was approved and loved the book. It was really better than the previous one, more vampire centered and more similar to the old Vampire Chronicle instalments.
It's a fast and enjoyable read with some great horror&gore moments and the basis for new developments.
Lestat is at his usual narcissistic and boisterous self, full of love and good intentions. I'd have preferred some more Louis, my favourite characters, but I had a lot of fun so I cannot complain.
The canon is getting more complex, new concept and new characters are introduced and some old are removed.
The books is shorter than usual, a bit slow at the beginning.
I think this book is for fun of Rice's books and would not be the best one to start the series.
I recommend to people who already read the rest of the series.
Recommended!
Many thanks to Random House UK, Vintage Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC
