Those 36 pages have not satisfied my need for more information :’( the authors afterword though has actually made let the right one ins ending even more tragic. Eli is one of those characters that’s gonna stay with me forever :’) big sad

Bought purely to read the short story sequel to let the right one in :’)) feeling sad

Year long reading slump ended. Devoured this book in record speed.
Maybe my favourite representation of vampires in any media, far from seductive blood lust, instead a harrowing tale of neglected children.
Why is Eli not mentioned more often as one of the vampire greats?
(A difficult read exploring themes of neglect, CSA, gender, and the question of immortality/pedophiles but done so well, Anne Rice take notes LOL)

3 months since i last ready anything from TVC and quite frankly I’m expecting this to be an absolute bag of shite xx

Any time Lord Henry starts monologuing I can’t help but roll my eyes.
Sibyl is a massive wetty but she deserves better.

This book rlly is just two old gays fighting for the new twink in town

After absolutely devouring the first 2 books of TVC in record time, this one felt like such a slog in the middle, but the end has just pulled it back. The lack of chronological order in Anne Rices work is enjoyable at first but then eventually the plot becomes so convoluted that it’s hard to know which way is up. Probs time to take a break from TVC before starting book 4

Anne Rice really waffled on for hundreds of pages just to make everything make sense in the last chapter

Lestat defender till I die x

Maharets backstory has just sucked me right back into this book after a long slump icl

How has this book gone from such a page turner to the slowest read of my life? Fully lost the plot of what’s actually happening

Is Akasha insinuating that Lestat is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ?

Okay so Anne Rice did successfully bring the storyline into the 80s without it being cringe I have to admit. I have lost the plot a bit with who’s who though, there’s been so many new characters introduced into this book. Who the fuck is Khayman??? I’ve fully forgotten who Santino is. Who is Miriam? Who’s daughter is Jesse??? God knows

Pt 1 chapter 6 on Jesse and the Talamasca has just satisfied my need for IWTV. Was too nice to see Claudia mentioned again after so long :’)
