2.5

Not as good as the other books because I wasn't as attached to the characters (Baby Jinx? I literally don't care). It was interesting learning about how vampires came to be at least. I care more for the ancient vampires than the young ones. I also don't understand Lestat's attachment to the queen and vice versa. Don't think I'll read the other books in the series, though I'll likely reread the first/second novels on paper at some point. And I want to read The Vampire Lestat before reading Interview With a Vampire.
