5/5 stars for Armand canonically wearing Jean on jeans.
Otherwise, this is very polarizing. Everybody in this book except for the vampires have yapping disease and it’s like I’m reading a vampire chronicles book babes. I’m not here for television evangelical women who are on their period (🫥) and devil’s that don’t get on with their story until 72% of the book is completed. I kind of understand why she wrote it and why some people love it (i googled Memnoch the Devil + Reddit when I was 30% into the book because I needed to see how other people felt about this book and there are STANS). It’s like if god and the devil exist why do vampires exist in the world. A very theological musing type book but it’s like get to the point please instead of waxing away about how you want lestat to fight on your side like PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE I felt I was a hostage at some points x.
Anyway excited for the vampire Armand bitch better be alive 🤨 I’m not playing Anne.
