I haven’t enjoyed Rice’s newer works as much as her earlier
books. This story is told mostly from
the point of view of Lestat, although many other vampires and even some
non-vampires are included in the tale.
Mostly, it is about the Voice that has been speaking to Lestat and many
other vampires. The Voice has been
encouraging vampires to kill each other. Lestat suspects that it is Amel, the
spirit inhabiting Mekare, one of the ancient vampires. If Lestat is right, it still doesn’t explain
how to stop the killing or what the Voice truly wants. If they can’t figure it out quickly, all of
the vampires may be doomed. These books
no longer really hold my attention. I
think there’s too much introspection and not enough story. I wouldn’t recommend this to any but Rice’s
most ardent fans.
