Anne Rice you are so crazy for this…. Lestat apparently they can make me love you……
The beginning and ending were a very strong 5⭐️ vibe. The middle portion at times had pacing issues, but I felt like Anne’s incorporation of history was very very interesting, and I can’t WAIT to see how to show retells this book oh my GODDDDDD.
I can’t bring myself to give this book 5⭐️ though I loved it. Anne simply writes very questionable things at times. Her obsession with incestuous erotic undertones is so weird and bizarre, & this book definitely falls into some questionably orientalist tropes at times & I’m very interested to see how the show will handle this.
