A review by katielanza
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

2.0

The writing is interesting in that it is very descriptive in every setting, experience, and character that comes up. However, a lot of the details are unnecessary in that they serve no purpose of enlightening the reader of anything important or practical. This, in turn, leaves a lot of unfinished points in the story. An open-ended novel, which perhaps makes it more interesting for the reader, and is in fact the best choice. However, by the end, I felt that there were many parts that still required explaining, which the epilogue did not do. It seemed like a half-hearted and tired attempt by Rice to clear up a few things and perhaps make the reader feel more hopeful, which the author should not feel like they have to do.
