I'm reading through the entire Vampire Saga and at this point I'm just tired of Lestat being a big, yelly crybaby who r*pes in one book and finds his absolution in the next, just because he has self-doubts and anxiety. I'm also tired of how much the adolescent, or child-like appearances of the characters are mentioned and sexualised. 
This book in particular struck a really weird note with the whole god vs. devil thing, it was just confusing and uninspired. It read like a bad fanfiction.
I think the first 3 books should've wrapped up the series but alas.
