This would’ve been lower due to Marius’ stuff making me sleep a bit but then I really ended up giggling and kicking my feet at the epilogue for the most part so it evened it out.

Got me again, Anne!!! I love lestat he’s just a horrible lil guy. I think this is a great book to understand the Armand x lestat dynamic. Also great Louis x lestat stuff as well. Book makes me excited to see Nicki and Gabrielle way more 

I actually do really like Anne rice’s prose for the most part. Nobody has fun anymore like she does. Her voice for lestat is so strong.

Lestat is one of my first crushes so my love of this book is purely nostalgic. I love my trash vampire and his completely over the top, dramatic flair.
