Ughhh oh my godddd. I would've had a much more emotional reaction if Claudia were just treated as the daughter.

Ah, Armand, poor Armand. Why did I expect worse of him? Why did I assume he would be more reprehensible and cruel?

Why must this ask me to confirm a review after this commentary... Three stars. Three fucking stars. At the most.

Louis why are you kissing Claudia like that!!! God!!!

Anyways. Oh so that's Armand, huh? I imagined him differently. Huh

Oh, lovely!!! The European traveling saga grossly tainted by a 5-year-old vampire girl with a woman's mind kissing her father on the mouth! Anne, Claudia is supposed to represent your daughter. Louis is supposed to represent you. What the fuck, ma'am

Anne Rice why were you so weird with the way you wrote children

Anne Rice why are you so weird with how you write childrennnn I don't care that Claudia is based off of your dead daughter who died of leukemia at the age of 5 it's still weirdddd oh my god... how on earth do you write a book with a character who mentally ages but is stuck in the body of a child without being weird about it? is it even possible

Definitely a product of its time. I'm reading it from the Barnes n Nobles collector's edition, which groups the first 3 books together, so the page count is a little off. Louis's transformation is like an elopement and despises Lestat himself. I wonder if Lestat turned him because he's lonely. The book is, to my surprise, mostly Louis talking to an interviewer: Mostly descriptive dialogue.
