Got through a crazy chapter and it ended w ‘this of course all happened in one year and the kids still 13’ ????
Shit just happened back then ig

Charlotte Lucas gets oversimplified in all the adaptations I’ve seen except for The Other Bennet Sister and THATS crazy

I feel like I need to reread the last chapter other than a sick as hell battle and medieval surgery what did we learn
Like that’s a dumb reason to excommunicate someone, and it was so casually done it implies there are a bunch of ex-landowning excommunicated knights wandering around

Surprise wife and child actually that’s new info tbf

I feel way better now we’ve got to the plot of this book. I wish David Talbot would drop dead and this book about Merrick and Louis’ trauma was in fact about that instead of Anne Rice’s usual ‘pedophilia and crude depictions of foreign countries’

But Claudia is here so yay

This book is i think becoming a close second favourite book

David Talbot I don’t understand your fan club and I don’t appreciate you replacing Daniel Molloy and I swear to god NO NORMAL PERSON THINKS OF THE WORDS ‘sultry child’ YOU FREAK GET OUT OF MY BOOKS NONCE

My favourite bit of the whole book was when Armand brutally murdered a guy who deserved it, wish he did that more

Terrible things are about to happen but I’m just so deeply angry and horrified at Marius I’m almost glad it’s over. Hitting a child you adopted and groomed just for asking reasonable questions and then him having to laugh it off and play along to get an answer out of you

Makes Lestat and Claudia look like Madonna and child honestly. And she killed him!! Armand get ideas!!!! Take inspiration!!!!!!

Listening to religious ish music while reading this is actually pretty good it definitely helps to have an aperol spritz too tho

thank god this actually has a more nuanced perspective of Marius than I expected

In the to vamp or not to bit I was like THIS is it THIS is the dynamic and (almost) everything wrong with it, Amadeos literally a pet to Marius, Marius doesn’t give a shit about him, his life, his personality only how pretty he is. He literally says stuff along the lines of ‘ur an expensive jewel I don’t want to pay heaven for’

And NOWHERE in the books does Marius get slapped for being an island-owning level nonce
I HOPE TV MARIUS GETS A NUKE DROPPED ON HIM AND I HOPE ARMAND DESIGNED THAT NUKE

Devouring this book not because I’m enjoying it but because I want it to be over

Hellgram is an oc built for the trench crusade games

(Was it supposed to be a big deal that the forest connects to other realms not just one?? What are the indwellers then???? Have people just been going to random worlds including the war one??? This is dangerous??????)

Didn’t fuck the old man, LOSERRR

This happened several chapters ago but ‘let me be the one who loves you’ is going with me to my grave this book is so romantic and also so bizarre there’s a dog called mojo and a full paragraph explaining that he’s a normal dog which is fair enough to include bc I thought he was a werewolf lmao

Fucking a nun and talking abt goodness and religion sure fine what is GOING ONNN

Sort of obsessed w raglan he’s such a freak

Cannot express how much my heart absolutely shattered WE GOT LOUIS SAYING I LOVE YOU AND IT WAS SO SWEET AND UNPROMPTED OH MY GODDDDD
I would’ve put up with the last five chapters of supernatural bonkers philosophy if it had been convos between Louis and Lestat not some dude called David

Nice.

Begging Anne Rice to lock in the dialogues so good I love Lestat in this book but like what are we doing here. Once again u can’t just tell me events with no emotional road to get there

End of chapter one and they give me a HINT of plot Anne Rice you are testing me

CUNT WAS SERVED WITH A SIDE OF BRAINS AND HEART ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED OH MY GOOOOOODDDDD

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

(Sorry what do you MEAN Armand gave him a hug??? Armand stop being needy and lock in dude what happened to the anger??? Everyone’s so weepy this book)

RIP to the M twins but I’d abandon those idiots and move a long way away from the freaky vampire demon rulers
