There's nothing really new or surprising if you've read the first three, unless you've been reading this character with major rose-colored glasses on, but this book really hammers home his selfishness, violence, and complete lack of respect for other people's bodily autonomy. In this book he (vague spoilers ahead; see tags)
If you're okay reading all that, then you'll get a few beautiful moments with Louis (in his best taking-no-bullshit-era), Claudia haunting everything, and one of the best dog characters ever. Otherwise it is a lot of Lestat being horrible and having conversations with his old man friend David. Which really doesn't interest me. All that to say, gonna pause here with the series for now.

I know I rated this highly, -I had to. I would read even Anne Rice's shopping list. -But truly I found some parts hard to read. Mainly the rape and... and well, the thing at the end. So be warned, I guess.
I seriously wish the vampires in this book would stop moaning about being damned or being the devil or whatever. But I guess they won't so... :/
