The Witching Hour Summary


The Review:

Anne Rice's novel The Witching Hour tells the story of a witch family in New Orleans. It's a slow read since it's more like a history than a book, as it takes the reader back to early Scotland and then into the 1970s. It was a bit monotonous at points, but don't assume it's simply dull because if you appreciate Anne Rice's books, you're already familiar with her writing style and how she begins a saga, and this is a tale with a lot going on.

It took me a long time to finish this book, not because it was difficult or uninteresting to read, but because I was immersed in other books at the same time, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to recall who was who owing to the length of these books and the number of characters involved. I'm so relieved I persevered! The finale, on the other hand, did not appeal to me at first. But then I realized that this is the first of a series, but I don't believe Anne Rice intended for it to be when she began writing this novel.

However, it retained my attention; regrettably, the history of Mayfair tends to drag on. But, as I discovered later, the background and history are crucial to comprehend the work. This would be my recommendation if you're searching for a book to keep you entertained for a while. If you're looking for a short read, avoid this one and return when you're ready to engage in a tale (series).

Anne Rice's future writings will be infused with the Mayfair ancestry that is linked to this spiritual aspect. Blackwood Farm is my second favorite novel, and I adore how the Mayfair ladies are always linked with the vampire ancestry. It's a sophisticated web that's incredibly alive, fluid, coordinated, and never-ending. I adore her writing style, and I believe this book is the finest representation of Anne Rice's best work.

You might like this novel as much as I do if you enjoy history, romance, mystery, suspense, and some genuinely creepy happenings.

It's a fantastic novel. If you liked the Vampire Chronicles, you'll love the Mayfair Family and their tumultuous past. I was completely intrigued with the family's origins, which began in Scotland and culminated on First Street in New Orleans. This is a narrative about powerful women, matriarchy, magic, and sex, among other things.

It was well-written and intriguing, and it gave me just the right amount of shivers. I like the author's depictions of New Orleans, Mayfair's vast past, and the enigmatic Talamasca. Anne Rice, for the most part, does an excellent job of fleshing out her characters. I admit to becoming increasingly perplexed by the ever-expanding family tree, and I ultimately stopped remembering all of the Mayfair predecessors because I was reading so many other novels at the same time, but it's not a simple chore even if you're only reading this one.

I can honestly say that I have read and enjoyed every book Anne Rice has ever written, but this one had such a strong hold on me that I never let go.

In this book, there are a lot of different tales going on. Witch burnings, the Renaissance, emigrating to the New World, and the Jazz Age are all examples of historical events. After all, this is a saga that spans over 300 years.

There's the youngster, who was literally kidnapped from birth. The spirit that bestows prosperity and power while plotting its own destiny. Women who have been used and rejected. A lady who is so wrapped up in her own righteousness that she feels her actions are not only acceptable but essential. And a witch dead set on breaking the curse that had been placed on the family.

Then there's New Orleans, and then there's the House. In its own special way, this city is unlike any other in the world. Even now, streets, buildings, graves, people, churches, and, it seemed, even the air, are all different. A location from the Old World that has been transplanted to the New.

Yes, this is a huge book, but it is utterly engrossing, a story that you can easily lose yourself in. It's difficult to say how many storylines are going on here, but they all revolve around Rowan Mayfair, the last of a long line of powerful witches. Rowan is a brilliant neurosurgeon who was adopted. She lives in San Francisco and is clueless about her biological mother.

Other accounts include that of Michael Curry, a guy who nearly drowned but now possesses unusual psychic abilities. And, The Talamasca, a paranormal research organization committed to the never-ending history of the Mayfair family, which stretches back 400 years.

One of Anne Rice's best qualities is that she painstakingly analyzes her history and can write excellent historical fiction that takes the reader to that period. Scotland and Holland in the 1600s, the Caribbean Islands in the 1700s, and New Orleans in the 1800s and beyond are the settings in this case. Rich and beautiful detail, fleshed-out characters, and vital sub-plots abound. It's all completely enthralling!

This is not a book for children or teens under eighteen year old, since it contains strong sexual themes. It becomes pretty sci-fi towards the end. Also, don't anticipate a neat, tidy, and predictable conclusion because it is just the start of a series and not an actual ending to a book.


Final Thoughts:

In almost anybody else's hands, all of the threads of this narrative would be a knot so twisted that it would take a knife to untangle. A really large knife. I am amazed at how she does it so flawlessly.

It has a historical tone to it as well as elements of horror and science fiction. From the time I started reading the rich descriptions of the Garden District homes' design, I was hooked. And the ladies of each age are all remarkable in their own way.

This was a fantastic book with complex plots and well-developed characters. It held my attention throughout the story and left me eagerly anticipating the next installment, "Lasher." In my spare time, I like to read or simply spend the time. I read to travel to other planets, kingdoms, and places. A strong character (or characters) enhances the "journey." The imaginative world-building and attention to detail combine to immerse you in the world of the characters. This book accomplishes all of these goals. This is a novel that I would suggest to any genre reader. Witches, indeed!


Synopsis:

“"[A] huge and sprawling tale of horror." —The New York Times Book Review

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches—a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women.

Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale that challenges everything we believe in.”

The Mummy or Ramses the Damned Summary


The Review:

The Mummy or Ramses the Damned by Anne Rice is about Ramses. In many respects, Ramses is unlike any of Anne Rice's other male characters. He's not as cunning and destructive as Lasher, as moody as Louis, or as high-maintenance as Lestat. Of course, the fact that he may have a couple of thousand years on them may be a factor. He is also a solar creature, unlike his ghosts and vampiric brethren. Ramses is a thoughtful, intellectual man with a strong sense of fairness.

He is overwhelmed by the future when he awakens from a self-imposed slumber that takes him back to Cleopatra's time. He wakes up to automobiles, trains, newspapers, scientific discoveries, telephones, moving images, and aircraft, to name a few. Is he stressed out? Rebuking? Frightened? No. He's awestruck, enthralled, and, above all, ecstatic. He wants to see and do everything instantly!

I know I appreciated every aspect of this book. It was amazing to read. Anne Rice's writing is filled with emotion and passion, and her descriptions transport the reader to the places she portrays, immersing you in her story and enticing you into a world you'll never want to leave.

Her works entice the reader to want to be a part of them. Julie's demeanor makes you feel the world is a great place, and Ramses is a character you fall in love with straight away. This book has the ability to make a reader's heart sing as well as hurt, and it instills in them a desire for justice in the world.

Like a Tanith Lee novel, this book is written in a nearly poetic tone. The characters, as archetypes of wickedness, lethargy, attractiveness, and so on, have a fairy tale aspect to them. While this may easily go awry, she manages to make it work and do so nicely.

I know that this narrative is not for everyone, yet she always asks well-informed questions about life and its significance. It is nevertheless a wonderful novel, despite the fact that it might be predictable at times.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite Anne Rice books. It's refreshingly distinct and adds a new spin to the traditional mummy tale. The wonderful atmosphere Anne Rice creates in Edwardian London and Egypt is maybe my favorite aspect of the story. The characters are well-developed and believable, and the reader is immediately drawn in. The variation on the traditional mummy story offers a new kind of terror than the standard waddling monster of Hollywood's golden era.

Anyone who has seen the movie version of The Mummy (1932) with Boris Karloff will be familiar with the plot of this novel. It takes place in the early 1900s when the British had a greater effect on Egypt than they do now, and massive excavations were taking place, with the discovery of several tombs and antiquities.

We have an older guy and his aide on-site, and they are opening a tomb with scant care for the curses etched on the door. Inside, they discover a spotless tomb complete with manuscripts, jars, and the obligatory sarcophagus.

The story involves his daughter Julia and some more people related to him and what happens to all of these characters once the story actually moves forward.

In simple words, some of it is similar, but the primary distinction is that this mummy is not malicious and does not wish to murder everyone it encounters. One more primary difference is that it is not a mummy, but rather an indestructible man.

Anne Rice was really creative in allowing him to absorb the culture and technology of the period, and in picking the beginning of the twentieth century when technology was still in its infancy and still explainable to the curious mind.

The characters were all well-written, which was to be expected given that this was an Anne Rice novel. Then there's the family's clever but unhappy acquaintance, a lonely but married gay who is getting on in years and knows Ramses' secrets.

The story is set in Egypt and England in the 1920s. Anne Rice's writing is descriptive, and it made me feel as if I had been transported to another century. I can still picture the English drawing room with its thick carpets and gorgeous curtains if I close my eyes. I can sense the sweltering desert breezes and an ancient Cairo populated by British officials wearing white clothes and gowns.

Of course, the success or failure of the work hinges on the reality of its key character, Ramses. Anne Rice once again exceeds all expectations as she portrays the eternal man's life, loves, successes, and failures. Ramses is a guy we can comprehend, unlike her vampire characters, who are creatures with reasons that are distant from the reader's perspective.

He is a full-fledged human being. We are hungry, but he is always hungry. We are in love, but he has been in love for ages. He bounds while we walk. We can get to know him, despite the fact that he is enormous in every sense.

Anne Rice is the queen of immortality. She's allowed us to view the lengthy, harsh, sad, beautiful, and dirty history of humanity through the eyes of a variety of unkillable entities over the years. She is most known for introducing the vampires into the twentieth century, but she has also written about werewolves, angels, demons, spirits, aliens, and even a genie. The fact that she also did her own rendition of a mummy narrative gets lost in the swirl in this eternal collection.

Which is a great shame, since The Mummy is a fantastic novel. Anne Rice doesn't quite reinvent the stereotype as she did with vampires and werewolves, but she does exactly what she does best: she takes the theme of an immortal creature and turns it around to create a deep thinking, feeling being, giving us history, romance, and excitement in the process — and in the process, she manages to inject vitality and sexuality into a dried withered hollow shell of a decomposing body.


Final Thoughts:

I've always regarded Anne Rice's books to be fascinating and enjoyable. She is a master at suspense and dragging you into a tale to make you forget about reality for a brief period of time. She had a way of making you feel linked to all of the book's characters, not just the main ones.

This book is ideal for anybody who likes all things, Mummy, from the Boris Karloff classic through contemporary films. Ramses the Damned is both immortal and human at the same time.

No one compares to Anne Rice when it comes to capturing the atmosphere; anywhere and everywhere she takes you, you'll be able to smell the flowers and feel the breeze as she portrays it.


Synopsis:

“NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ramses the Great returns in this “darkly magical” (USA Today) novel from bestselling author Anne Rice

“The reader is held captive and, ultimately, seduced.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Ramses the Great lives!

But having drunk the Elixer of life, he is now Ramses the Damned, doomed forever to wander the earth, desperate to quell hunger that can never be satisfied—for food, for wine, for women.

Reawakened in opulent Edwardian London, he becomes Dr. Ramsey, an expert in Egyptology. He also becomes the close companion of voluptuous, adventurous Julie Stratford, heiress to a vast shipping fortune and the center of a group of jaded aristocrats with appetites of their own to appease.

But the pleasures Ramses enjoys with Julie cannot soothe him. Searing memories of his last reawakening, at the behest of Cleopatra, his beloved Queen of Egypt, burn-in his immortal soul. And though he is immortal, he is still all too human. His intense longings for his great love, undiminished over the centuries, will force him to commit an act that will place everyone around him in the gravest danger. . . .”

Blood Canticle Review

Blood Canticle Review

Blood Canticle

Published: 28, October 2003

Author: Anne Rice

Blood Canticle Summary


The Review:

Anne Rice's Blood Canticle has both merits and flaws, depending on who is reading it. Lovers of the Vampire Chronicles and the Mayfair Witches, particularly fans of Blackwood Farm, will enjoy Blood Canticle. However, there are some major annoyances along the road, which, again, are dependent on the reader and those random readers who picked up this book and started reading without realizing that it is not a stand-alone novel and must be tackled after reading the other volumes in the series.

Anne Rice is a powerful writer with three big gifts: number one, she understands how to tell a narrative and spin a plot, number two, she develops vivid and intriguing characters, and number three, she is a great wordsmith with a rich and appealing writing style.

If a reader is really religious and/or thinks against what the characters and Anne Rice are saying and thinking about, all three of her strengths might be perceived as faults in this novel.

This novel blew me away, especially Lestat's constant evolution and desire to be good while being pulled to evil. What a satisfying conclusion. The meeting of vampires and witches is fantastic. I liked how it began up immediately where Blackwood Farm left off, and how it was told from Lestat's point of view.

I loved his genuine modern voice, the fact that he was repeating the narrative in less formal terms, and the fact that he seemed to be up to speed with the current world despite being a couple of hundred years old at this time.

Anne Rice and her particular writing style, as well as her voice, are always in character. She leads us through the corridors of her main character's mind and soul so fully that the reader becomes buried in the pages, entirely ignorant of time. She is fantastic, and this novel captivates in the same manner that her other Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Saga books have. I suggest it to anybody looking to escape into a wonderfully painted fantasy world that appears genuine enough to reside outside your door every time the sunsets.

While typing these lines, I realize what a genius our late great Anne Rice was when she intended to write this and any other book, and in the following few paragraphs, all the fans will say yes and maybe even non-fans and haters will say yes also.

Warning: There will be spoilers ahead. I'm about to explain why this book is amazing, not horrible, as some readers believed. I can see why some readers aren't fond of it. This is not the Lestat they were expecting. The narrative is written in a unique way. And none of the companions we've grown to know and love, such as Louis, Armand, and Marius, are present.

But, if you go back over the whole Vampire Chronicles series, you'll see that this novel was bound to happen. Lestat aspires to be a saint, as he tells us nearly from the start. He talks about it as if he didn't have anything else to be except a saint. This isn't the same Lestat we've seen in previous Chronicle volumes. That Lestat was seen as a villain or an antihero. 

However, keep in mind that Lestat's statements appeared in just four of the prior nine volumes. In Interview with the Vampire, Louis shared his story, Armand told his, David informed us about Merrick, Marius finished his narrative in Blood and Gold, and Quinn Blackwood told us about Blackwood Farm. When these individuals spoke of Lestat, they didn't use his words or his mannerisms. Since Memnoch the Devil, Blood Canticle is the first novel to employ Lestat's own words.

And why wouldn't he have altered his tone of voice throughout that period of time? Lestat is the one who, following Marius' lead, always found a way to blend in with the times he was in. The novel finishes with... as one of the sentences. Isn't that how people communicate these days, with Internet chat and email? Why should it surprise us that Lestat is the one who is doing it?

Consider what he stated in the Chronicles about his desire to be a saint: "We don't actually change as we get older. We are simply becoming more and more like ourselves "... Reread The Vampire Lestat if you haven't before. Lestat has aspired to be a saint since he was a child. His earliest ambitions and wishes would undoubtedly return stronger than ever as he grew older and became more himself.


Final Thoughts:

Anne Rice provides another fantastic novel, as she usually does. I couldn't stop reading it till I completed it. I would suggest this book to any Anne Rice fan, as well as anyone who is interested in vampires and witches. But I'd recommend they start with the Mayfair storyline, The Witching Hour unless you're a book addict like me, in which case you can't go wrong with Lestat's storyline, The Vampire Chronicles, and start with Interview with the Vampire.

Blood Canticle has a great tale, it's a great read, and it's really faithful to the Lestat we saw in The Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, and Memnoch the Devil. This character has matured with the times. He's not the same anymore, having re-adjusted to his new surroundings.


Synopsis:

“Fiery, fierce, and erotic, Blood Canticle marks the triumphant culmination of Anne Rice’s bestselling Vampire Chronicles, as Lestat tells his astounding tale of the pleasures and tortures that lie between death’s shadow and immortality. . . .

Surrounded by its brooding swamp scape, Blackwood Farm is alive with the comings and goings of the bewitched and the bewitching. Among them is the ageless vampire Lestat, vainglorious enough to believe that he can become a saint, weak enough to fall impossibly in love.

Gripped by his unspeakable desire for the mortal Rowan Mayfair and taking the not-so-innocent, new-to-the-blood Mona Mayfair under his wing, Lestat braves the wrath of paterfamilias Julien Mayfair and ventures to a private island off the coast of Haiti. There, Saint Lestat will get his chance to slay his dragon. For Mona and the Mayfairs share an explosive, secret blood bond to another deathless species: a five-thousand-year-old race of Taltos, strangers held in the throes of evil itself.”

Blackwood Farm Summary


The Review:

Quinn Blackwood, a recently formed immature vampire, is the protagonist of Anne Rice's novel Blackwood Farm. He's attempting to figure out the ins and outs of the covens. But he's also carrying a nasty monster! (For real) He sought the assistance of the Vampire Lestat in order to free himself of this strange influence that has been with him from boyhood and has only grown stronger and more dangerous. Lestat enlists the aid of Merrick, a strong vampire witch. Can their combined abilities assist Quinn in achieving his goal of freedom?

This story combines vampires and witches. Anne Rice, our cherished author, has created another excellent story. The Vampire Quinn Blackwood's story is both enthralling and terrifying.

One of my favorite aspects of this story is that you don't have to have read the other eight books in the series to enjoy it. But to have a better understanding of Lestat, I recommend reading Interview With The Vampire first, I am confident you will read all of the prior novels since once a reader starts reading this series, he/she won't be able to stop.

If you're a fan of Anne Rice's Vampire and Mayfair series, this novel will provide you with some intriguing updates on the Mayfair Clan, so if you haven't read that series yet, you should.

Those who like adult vampires with real themes will like this book. Anne Rice works by opening in the future, delving into the past, and then concluding in the near future. Lestat is almost always involved or invoked, whether in a significant or minor capacity.

When I ponder the circumstances of her vampires' life, I am frequently distressed and sad. But still, I end up with artwork to look at, music to listen to, and moral dilemmas to deal with.

I understand that thinking about and reading about drinking human blood, or any kind of blood, is unpleasant, yet her characters' sensuous connection is enthralling, and the reader is never left feeling alienated. In essence, the reader forgets or forgives them for doing it because it is for their longevity, elegance, and sustainability.

And then the sadness of these characters' lives makes the reader mourn at the conclusion of each book. You'll probably appreciate the Vampire Chronicles if you prefer your chocolate bitter.

It holds the reader in fear the whole time it is being read. The historical accuracy is incredible! Anne Rice went above and beyond the call of professionalism. After reading this work and learning about Merrick, readers will be more interested in learning more about the Mayfair Witches.

Anne Rice creates a universe that you don't want to leave, as she usually does. Her characters leap off the page and into your heart. I realize she can't constantly write about Louise and Lestat, even though Lestat is neglected in this novel. Her imagination is far too complex for us to limit it to our personal preferences. I appreciate every syllable she writes, and I always feel bad about ending one of her novels.


Final Thoughts:

This novel is full of wonderful detail, engaging characters, and stunning magical energies, as is typical of Anne Rice. And, of course, The Brat Prince's aristocracy. Tarquin's narrative is a fascinating tale of good and evil, not necessarily in the manner you think, thanks to Goblin's dark friendship and Aunt Queen's lovely light.

I really liked this book, however, like a handful of her other works, most of it is Quinn recounting Lestat his narrative from beginning to end. I believe the last three chapters were the conclusion to the story at hand.

The backstory, as with all of her books, is extremely detailed and full of information that you can take or leave. The ups and downs on the roller coaster are masterfully written, but that is to be expected from an Anne Rice novel.

This is an obvious step up from her previous Vampire Chronicles volumes, which was a nice relief and a sign for those who doubted her tremendous writing ability.

I would suggest this book to anybody who likes vampires, the paranormal, witches, dark fantasy, or is just finished the Vampire Chronicles series .


Synopsis:

“In her new novel, perennial bestseller Anne Rice fuses her two uniquely seductive strains of narrative -- her Vampire legend and her lore of the Mayfair witches -- to give us a world of classic deep-south luxury and ancestral secrets.

Welcome to Blackwood Farm: soaring white columns, spacious drawing rooms, bright, sun-drenched gardens, and a dark strip of the dense Sugar Devil Swamp. This is the world of Quinn Blackwood, a brilliant young man haunted since birth by a mysterious doppelgänger, “Goblin,” a spirit from a dream world that Quinn can’t escape and that prevents him from belonging anywhere. When Quinn is made a Vampire, losing all that is rightfully his and gaining an unwanted immortality, his doppelgänger becomes even more vampiric and terrifying than Quinn himself.

As the novel moves backwards and forwards in time, from Quinn’s boyhood on Blackwood Farm to present-day New Orleans, from ancient Athens to 19th-century Naples, Quinn seeks out the legendary Vampire Lestat in the hope of freeing himself from the specter that draws him inexorably back to Sugar Devil Swamp and the explosive secrets it holds.

A story of youth and promise, of loss and the search for love, of secrets and destiny, Blackwood Farm is Anne Rice at her mesmerizing best.”

Merrick Summary


The Review:

Merrick demonstrates Anne Rice's customary gift for atmosphere, particularly historical or strange atmosphere, fast-paced adventure that can be a true page-turner, intriguing knowledge of ancient civilizations and magical procedures, and a decent narrative line and variation. The combination of witches and vampires is a welcome variation in this series.

This book is fascinating because of the blending procedure: two novel lines merged, at least two faiths merged, two or three witchcrafts merged, plot lines merged, divergent developments merged. In the realm of fantasy fiction, this is a must-read.

Anne Rice is a fantastic author. Many writers have pet clichés that, by the second book, have become not only obvious but practically irritating; Anne Rice, on the other hand, is artistic and inventive. There are no catchphrases to jolt the reader out of the story's flow with an unintentional recollection. The momentum is not disrupted by the frequent phrase repetition, and the reader's concentration is maintained.

In many respects, this novel is a pleasant surprise. Anne Rice begins to blend her witch and vampire lines with the Mayfairs, as well as with Lestat and Louis and other characters.

However, in the instance of the Mayfair line, this merging is small since it includes a "colored" witch, or a witch from the Mayfair family's "colored" line, i.e., descendants of the white Mayfairs among the black slaves and servants. However, this series of "hued" witches introduces us to new witchcraft, including Vodun, sometimes known as voodoo.

The technique demonstrates how the Christianization of this African religion is systematic and comprehensive.

However, this Vodun religion is founded on some age-old, ancient practices, such as animal sacrifices, the use of blood, charms, and, of course, the belief that spirits exist and that, when we die, we either go into the light, which is paradise, or we err and roam in some dark in-between space, where we can haunt the world of the living. This religion has no idea of hell or Satan.

The novel, however, goes a step further by transporting us to Guatemala, where Merrick searches for and discovers more than ancient spirits and magical items, specifically a mask that would allow her to complete the goal set out by Anne Rice in this book.

This is another fantastic book that will not let you down! I enjoyed the narrative recounted by David, one of the newest vampires but one of the most experienced in his human years.

I can usually foresee, or at least assume, where she's heading with some of her plot lines, but this one caught me off guard. I enjoy how the narrative is conveyed from David's adult perspective and with his distinct tranquility.

I adore how you learn about and appreciate the world via Anne Rice's characters. You can see she puts a lot of love, thought, and imagination into her writings, particularly her characters.

Warning: Following this point, I will discuss several issues that might be considered spoilers. Merrick agrees to bring back the spirit of Claudia, a child vampire from the early volumes of the Vampire Chronicles because Louis is curious about how she is doing after death.

She was turned into a vampire as a kid, tried to kill Lestat, escaped to Europe and Paris with Louis, and was killed by other vampires in Paris by exposing herself to the sun since she had killed her creator, which is an unforgivable act for vampires.

Merrick does the spell, and then we get to see how the other vampires in this group react; there are four in all. Vampires and the Talamasca, a hidden society that studies paranormal events and entities, will wage war as a result of this.


Final Thoughts:

This book is a fantastic continuation of the Vampire Chronicles. The finale was fantastic, and it sets up a new adventure for the vampires. I would strongly advise everyone who has read Anne Rice's Chronicles to read this book also but don't forget to read it in sequence.

With "Merrick," we learn more about the previously mentioned characters and learn about witchcraft's role in the realm of the unusual. Here the reader embraces the idea that vampires had gifts but witches have gifts distinct from vampires' gifts, gifts for which vampires may be envious...this is intriguing.

Once again, thank you for your creativity and skill, Anne Rice. Thank you for building a universe that is not only similar to our own, but also accessible allegorically in a way that provides options for those of us who don't fit in.


Synopsis:

“In her mesmerizing new novel, the author of The Vampire Chronicles and the saga of the Mayfair Witches demonstrates once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling and the creation of myth and magic. Here, in a magnificent tale of sorcery and the occult, she makes real for us a hitherto unexplored world of witchcraft.

At the center is the beautiful, unconquerable witch Merrick. She is a descendant of the gens de couleur libres, a society of New Orleans octoroons and quadroons steeped in the lore and ceremony of voodoo, who reign in the shadowy world where African and French--the dark and the white--intermingle. Her ancestors are the great Mayfair witches, of whom she knows nothing--and from whom she inherits the power and the magical knowledge of a Circe.

Into this exotic realm comes David Talbot--hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost-mortal vampire, a visitor from another dark realm. It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale--a tale that takes us from the New Orleans of past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Maya ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored.

Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world and the vampires' world, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.”

The Vampire Armand Summary


The Review:

Anne Rice's The Vampire Armand explains to us how Armand became a vampire and why he committed the horrors he did to Louis and Lestat. If you appreciate the Vampire Chronicles and Anne Rice's works, you should not miss this opportunity to read it. To put it frankly, I'm not sure why this book received so many negative reviews. It was a fantastic novel that I thought was a worthy addition to the Vampire Chronicles. If you haven't yet read this novel, do it right now!

Armand is a genuinely interesting character, and it was excellent to discover why he was the way he was in this edition of the Vampire Chronicles.

This book covers so many of the voids left by the previous Vampire Chronicles, such as Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, Tale of the Body Thief, and Memnoch the Devil. The story opens in the present, with Lestat ruling the roost, and follows Armand's descent into decadence in his late teens, through his vampiric leadership in Paris, and ultimately back to the present, with a display of just how graceful and powerful he has become.

Above all, I feel that this novel best exemplifies Anne Rice's genre, topics, and writing style. With the storyline, twists and turns, and casual supernatural coincidences, Anne Rice has one of the most unique writing styles out there. I'm fascinated with her narrative abilities throughout the book.

This sixth Vampire Chronicle is all about Armand, and it starts with his desire to be near Lestat, who is now immobile on the chapel's marble floor. The scholar vampire, David Talbot, persuades Armand to narrate his narrative in exchange for his writing it down.

There is no experience quite like Armand's, which is completely engrossing and exhilarating throughout, with Armand sharing his own views with us. It takes us from the beginning, when Marius turned him into a vampire and named him "Amadeo," God's Beloved, to the previously unknown grotesque details of Claudia's last moments at his blundering hands, to the happy ending, when all his love is returned, by his Master, Marius, his companion, Louis, and his much-loved Lestat, and most importantly, by his "children," Sybelle and Benji, who love him like no one else has ever loved.

Armand is without a doubt one of my favorite characters in the entire series. This unfortunate character's life has been tormented, but he still manages to keep going. It's one of those rare novels that I can read again and again.

The narrative of Armand deserves your undivided attention! It's a narrative of a tortured soul trying to find its place in the world. It's an engrossing and profound story for people who can comprehend inner battles, love troubles, and tumultuous history.

Anne Rice devotes a significant amount of time to exploring Armand's connection with his Maker, Marius, set against the vibrant background of Renaissance Italy, particularly Venice. I wish she'd stayed longer, but that's just the greed in me that wants more from her on this topic and place. I was enthralled by all of the zeal and creativity... 

Anne Rice's pen brings Renaissance Italy to life, but that shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody who has read any of her prior books.

Some readers warned me that this book would be uninteresting and contain explicit themes. I believe these individuals are merely reading the words without understanding them in context. I'm also perplexed by the term adult because this book and the series were never intended for children. So why are people claiming it's an adult novel? 

This is now my favorite book in the series, and it deserves a lot more praise than it is getting!!


Final Thoughts:

The works of Anne Rice are transformative, deep, informative, and complicated. I like Anne Rice more than any other fiction writer when it comes to the Vampire Genre, perhaps with the exception of Daniel Quinn for fiction in general.

Her characters and interactions are so skillfully crafted that I have no doubt that she was listening in on these talks as they unfolded. Vampires from six thousand years ago to the "now," from all across the world, present readers with intriguing insights into histories and cultures that must have taken a lot of time and effort for Anne Rice to explore. As lyrical as that may seem, her works are romantic and gloomy, and they discover the spark of poetry in even the most stoic of souls.

It's a book worth buying and reading. This is a must-read for anybody who enjoys delving into the darkest corners of a character's mind.


Synopsis:

“In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand - eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. Armand, who first appeared in all his dark glory more than twenty years ago in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire, the first of The Vampire Chronicles, the novel that established its author worldwide as a magnificent storyteller and creator of magical realms.

Now, we go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion - and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance, we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades among humankind as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood.

As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.”
