WOW
Anne Rice has outdone herself this time. As a huge fan I must say that this is one of the most thrilling, exciting and compelling novels to date. Pandora is excellent. I admire this character in ways that could never apply to Lestat. Pandora comands the audience, her power is felt and it outshines Lestat. He has been upstaged. This story is one of love, strength and courage of no other magnitude found in the previous books of the vampire chronicles. I discover once again why I so love Anne Rice's work. I say, Let Lestat pass now from fiction into legend and let the others bask in their new found glory. This is a must read for any Rice fan.
