Violin Summary


The Review:

With Violin, Anne Rice delivers on her promise. Murder, suspense, and mystical beings are all waiting for you. Don't let the negative reviews deter you from reading this book, as I did for so long. The opening of the book devotes the required time to character development in order for the novel's plot to have the most impact on the reader. Fellow readers, it's called reading. This is an excellent book to read. If you like Anne Rice's books, you'll adore this one!

This is a beautifully written and intimate story of complexities, tragedies, dreams, and stunning glimpses of Anne Rice herself. I'm astonished that anyone who has read this hasn't been blown away by Anne Rice's brilliance.

I found Anne Rice's exploration of the role of music as a passageway between worlds fascinating — between this world and other worlds; between the past, present, and future; between memory and fantasy; between self and others; between one's spirit and one's daily life, between the dream world and this world; between all the hallways of the mind that intersect in so many unusual ways, both destructive and healing.

I particularly like how the naive musician Triana expresses herself through long-form improvisation, and how her unique music is so well received by others!

Several distinct personalities are spotlighted in this work. It's worded well to entice the reader and unfold with deft simplicity. Author has an inexhaustible creativity, which appears brightly in this work.

Anne Rice's ability to create people and stories that reverberate with both the agonies and the beauty that exists in all of mankind has made her a well-known novelist.

She uses immortality to advocate for the human condition in a smart way. As a result, this is a narrative about both, and it delves into the depths of what immortality entails.

I'm not sure how much more I can say without giving anything away. And this is a story worth remembering. Certainly, I do. As a result, I hope you will dismiss other people's opinions and make your own decision.

Anne Rice's books were well-received before the publication of this one, and they continue to be well-received afterward. There's a good explanation for it.

She is a literary mastermind. I believe it is a blood-borne gift, since she and her late poet husband, Stan Rice, have bestowed literary gifts on their son Christopher Rice.

We must also remember that she was the first to introduce vampires, magic, and the search for immortality to best-selling contemporary fiction. Her charge was followed by everyone who came after her.

She is modest and does not claim her due throne, although she is widely regarded as The Queen of the Damned, an excellent title to one of her excellent novels, and one that fits Anne Rice herself.

Violin has a lot of things that I liked about it. Anne Rice's unmistakable use of language is one-of-a-kind and distinctive to her. Violin is a ballad about loss, pain, remorse, and obsession.

Never before have I seen an author so expertly put sadness into words. The tale arc of Stefan, the tortured ghost violinist, was typical of Anne Rice. Author's allegorical settings and her protagonist's wandering grieving were easy to follow.

Since my major likes are her Vampire, Witch, and Wolf novels, some of which I've read over and again, this was Anne Rice as I'd never read her before. Violin is one of those books that I wish I had read when it was originally published.

How can one begin to explore the internal demons that lead to psychological suffering? The majority of nonfiction works focus on the 'feelings' rather than the actual happenings.

Even to a therapist, things might be too painful to speak about. Only the agony and consequences are acknowledged, and then masked...possibly with medications.

Author describes things that are too painful to contemplate, let alone feel, yet they were all too real for me.

And I'm willing to bet that they are real to a lot of other people. I must admit that the otherworldly entity in Violin captivated me, but it was Author's agonizingly realistic portrayal of all-too-common human situations that won me over.

I've felt remorse and guilt, as have all or most people, but I've never seen it come so close to being reflected in writing. I've never felt so terrible for a fictitious character like Triana or Stefan or felt so beautifully victorious when hope and redemption were finally shown.

This isn't the only reason I enjoy Anne Rice's novels. She isn't afraid to show the horror in what's ugly, and she has a gift for keeping hope alive even in the dead. My only regret is that I didn't read Violin when it was first published.


Final Thoughts:

Anne Rice's Violin is a remarkable presentation. It's hardly a book you'd want to read on the beach or on your summer vacation. It is a book for which you must be prepared by life.

It is not a book to be read on the lesser levels of consciousness that her earlier novels allow. It is not a novel for the young or the unaffected by life. To enjoy and comprehend Violin, you must be academically and emotionally equipped.

It is a literary work, not a work of pulp fiction. This isn't a book for the average reader. If you're searching for a quick, enjoyable read, you'll be not only disappointed but also bewildered and repelled.

Anne Rice has a plethora of titles to pick from to occupy the lazy days of summer or the cocooning days of winter. Choose one of these for a fun read.

If you insist on reading Violin, be warned that you will be required to read it at the maximum degree of your consciousness. It is not, and was not intended to be, a light read. This is the author at her best. This is Anne Rice on a professional level.

This is author at the point where just a small percentage of her readers have read all she has written. This is Anne Rice, untethered and free to roam the most treacherous terrains of human awareness. It's not for the faint of heart, nor for those with limited experience or intelligence.

Anne Rice's most advanced piece is Violin. It was a huge risk for her to write it. The reader, on the other hand, must assume significant risks in order to read it. It can only be accessed and comprehended at the greatest degree of consciousness.

Before you start reading this book, think twice. You just aren't ready if you aren't ready. Otherwise, it will be intellectually discordant. Author will take you there and bring you back to completeness when the time comes for you to confront the demons that torment your existence. Simply be prepared.

There's no need to know the plot because it would give too much away about the tale. And if there's one thing I don't like, it's spoilers. As a die-hard Anne Rice fan who has read and reread everything she's written, I can attest to the fact that she's in good form here.

It would be a tragedy for anyone to miss out on this heartfelt, innately lovely narrative.

This story is a stand-alone, and I've read it several times. It has such a haunting beauty that I can't stop myself from returning to read it again.


Synopsis:

Anne Rice's Violin tells the story of two charismatic figures bound to each other by a passionate commitment to music as a means of rapture, seduction, and liberation.

At the novel's center: a uniquely fascinating woman, Triana, and the demonic fiddler Stefan, a tormented ghost who begins to prey upon her, using his magic violin to draw her into a state of madness. But Triana sets out to resist Stefan, and the struggle thrusts them both into a terrifying supernatural realm.

Violin flows abundant with the history, the drama, and the romantic intensity that have become synonymous with Anne Rice at her incomparable best.”

Cry to Heaven Summary


The Review:

Anne Rice's magnificent historical tale "Cry to Heaven" shows the beauty and selfishness of the human spirit when it is entangled in a torturous political and sociological web. I couldn't put this book down and couldn't forget it - there's a lot to think about. The conclusion was clever and surprising. Anne Rice's depictions of old Venice and other classical Italian towns are as rich and dense as a tapestry.

I had no idea what to anticipate when I picked up this book, but I was immediately taken in and carried along in this tumultuous tale, unable to do anything else until I completed it.

As I followed Tonio through the horror that became his reality, I sobbed, ranted, and wanted to shout aloud. The author has the ability to make you experience the characters' emotions, become the character, and envision yourself in the scene, as she has done so many times in the past.

You take on the role of a Venetian, smelling the canals, seeing the architecture, and feeling the winds. In this novel, she really outdid herself. You see Tonio grow from a lonely small child to a promising adolescent with a bright future, only to plunge into the worst night of his life as he discovers everything he knows is a lie and loses everything he ever had but his voice.

As his circumstances break him down, he must learn to reach out to others around him, his new "family," and trust them, develop in his new job, flourish, and eventually become the "man" he is intended to be.

This was a fantastic book to read! The tale, as well as the depth of the characters, pulled me in from the first page and held me captivated until the last. Tonio was such a charming, if not troubled, character that it was impossible not to feel affection for him while also feeling sympathy for him.

The inner fortitude he possessed to traverse such tragedies at such a young age and yet shine brilliantly in the world was nothing short of amazing!!!

Guido was another extremely charming character, and the castrati's agony and misery for their abilities and art seemed unfathomable. Guido, like Tonio, went through hell and came out the other side loving, motivating, and absolutely admirable.

The love story between these two eunuchs and the other characters was engrossing, moving, and romantic, while also being sensuous, if not downright hot at moments.

Their need to be loved despite what had been done to them and society's contempt for them truly moved me.

Anne Rice has such a talent for weaving these lovely individuals into the fabric of history that the novel is a page-turner that any reader will find enthralling and thoroughly delightful!

Maestro is a fair descriptor for such a brilliant tale-teller, despite the fact that it is largely a musical term. Please do yourself a favor and read this great and moving story.

The surroundings of 18th century Italy are gorgeous in this tale, which was so well written. I could almost envision myself there, hearing, seeing, and smelling the noises, colors, and fragrances of the time period.

Her characters are so well-drawn that I felt as though I actually knew them. Above all, the storyline is fantastic, a tale of adventure, vengeance, and the quest to find one's own identity.

Not to add a fantastic conclusion that had me riveted to my seat. Regrettably, I've discovered that her Vampire and Witch books often hide this book. This book, in my opinion, is superior to them.

Forget about vampires and witches for a moment and sample this little-known treasure. Ironically, despite the fact that this work has been published for more than twenty years, no one I question has read it, and some have never heard of it.

Many of my acquaintances claim that they have always seen the book on the shelf but have never wanted to read it. But, after reading it, I was glad I did because of what I discovered, and it is now my little secret, which I encourage you to read as well.

Anne Rice did her homework and presented the fictitious characters in a historically accurate environment, as she constantly does. The book spends a lot of time talking about singing and the joys and problems that come with it.

These characteristics, as well as the descriptive descriptions of gorgeous places in Italy, appealed to me. You should be aware that this book contains a significant amount of homoeroticism.

That part became a bit of an irritant to me. But to be honest, I believe that real art should occasionally make us uncomfortable. In this work, author deftly conveys the sense of unease. I also felt that there was a long, drawn-out build-up to the book's climax, which arrives at the very end with little descending action.

It's possible that this is one of the best novels I've ever read. No one writes as meticulously as Anne Rice. This isn't a tale about vampires. There's nothing here about the occult or witches.

It revolves around a young nobleman who was castrated by his brother/father in order to prevent him from getting something (I feel mentioning it may be considered as a spoiler.) This is a book you will not be able to put down.


Final Thoughts:

I wasn't anticipating a novel like this after reading all of her vampire stories. It was based on true historical events. It kept a terrific plot thread going. If you enjoy historically accurate, well-written fiction, I strongly advise you to read it. If you favor her vampire novels, though, you will probably not enjoy this.

Because Anne Rice's vampire series receives so much attention, this book is sometimes neglected. A lovely, compelling narrative about the victory of the human spirit over something higher than man.

A romantic story of a mentor and student's classical love, as well as a boy's path to manhood, which is cut short by physical castration, and his ascent, victory, and change.

Anne Rice's words, which carry us to 18th century Venice, Naples, and Rome for this amazing odyssey of wrath and forgiveness, seem to breathe the past once more.

Despite the fact that the novel concludes on a happy note, tears welled up in my eyes. Take a chance on this one. It is well worth the time you will have to devote to fully comprehending it. It was a terrible period in our history, but one that ought to be remembered.


Synopsis:

“In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws readers into eighteenth-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols—and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

Praise for Anne Rice and Cry to Heaven

“Daring and imaginative . . . [Anne] Rice seems like nothing less than a magician: It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give a voice to monsters and angels both.”—The New York Times Book Review

“To read Anne Rice is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream.”—The Boston Globe

Anne Rice is eerily good at making the impossible seem self-evident.”—Time”

Taltos Summary


The Review:

Taltos is the third novel in Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches series; however several of the characters appear in her Vampire Chronicles series as well. The trilogy comes to a close with this fantastic novel. It's a well-written novel, and I was dragged into the plot as usual. Anne Rice has a knack for capturing and holding the reader's interest from beginning to conclusion. I'm planning on re-reading all of Anne Rice's works in the near future. Despite the fact that I've read every single one of her books. I was always excited when she released a new book, but sadly, she is no longer with us, and I now have a significant gap in my reading because few authors can match her ability to create literal magic.

A fantastic novel! It did leave a few strands hanging, but this was done on purpose since the loose ends were finished in future Anne Rice books such as Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle, and it was a fantastic way of expanding and connecting the universes of her novels.

Rowan keeps her chilly, arrogant demeanor, but I can't help but sympathize with Lasher after reading this book. For me, Yuri was a terrific character. He's adorable and devastating at the same time. And, as expected, Ashlar is really appealing. I feel that adding him to the tale gave readers a better understanding of Lasher and his actions. Much of what had been confusing about Lasher becomes evident when Ashlar tells his narrative.

In my opinion, the way she ended the story was eerily wonderful. Some people believe that this book series has run out of energy or is simply not as excellent as the others. It may look that way if you skimmed it, but I feel that if you invest time with this book and really understand what Anne Rice is trying to impart to you, you will find it just as captivating as virtually all of her previous novels.

I was fortunate in that after reading the first book, The Witching Hour, I was able to read the Lasher and then Taltos, the third book in Anne Rice's excellent trilogy, back to back because all three of these books were already accessible at the time. I was not disappointed once more!

Anne Rice makes it easy to believe that such a family of witches exists, with an equally long history of incest, killing, fortune, and authority, similar to the Mayfair family, residing in New Orleans' gorgeous, yet rather an eerie Garden District.

Anne Rice is a brilliant storyteller, and the final book in the Mayfair Witches trilogy was as fantastic as any other of her books. I feel compelled to reiterate myself in defense of this excellent author. I read and appreciated all three books in order, and the ending of this one was particularly satisfying.

Some readers were dissatisfied with these novels, and in some cases, her whole body of work. However, it's conceivable that these people feel that writing a book is as straightforward as reading one. At some point, they should give it a go. It's not easy at all. On the other side, Anne Rice makes it look easy. So, if big books and sagas aren't your things, simply read or move on.

Many writers irritate me when they force me to read extended paragraphs, and in some cases pages upon pages, describing how the room or garden looked and smelt, but with Anne Rice, it makes sense, and I don't mind since not all tales and locations require this, but Anne Rice's books do.

In some instances, her carefully selected sentences seem like poetry, which draws the reader into the remainder of her stories. I enjoy reading long novels, which is why I enjoyed them so much. To mention a few places, I was brought to New Orleans, Scotland, and New York. What may possibly be the issue? I enjoyed reading these books and was immediately hooked into the plot from the first page of the first installment.

Ash was one of my favorites! I wanted to meet him since his persona was so kind and otherworldly! That's incredible! I'd like to meet a character from a book! I appreciate how she brings the characters to life on the pages and then keeps them alive at the same time throughout all of her work.

The novels were excellent, and I would suggest all three to anybody who appreciates strong writing. Anne Rice never refrains from unpleasant subjects like rape, abortions, and incest. Her writing style is right on, and the characters she creates are real people. They have distinct personalities, which everyone who reads her books will notice.


Final Thoughts:

When Anne Rice explores the Taltos' history, she rediscovers her greatness once more. This is a genuinely magnificent, spellbinding, and all-encompassing book. For me, this is certainly top-tier popular fiction writing. I was really impacted by Ash's story, and I'm sure the finale will be equally as affecting for many others. Overall, I'm pleased with how the trilogy concludes.

Almost all of the loose ends are pulled together with brilliance and highly imaginative literary prose. Overall, I preferred the first three Vampire Chronicle volumes, but Anne Rice has genuinely crafted top-notch books with a plot that is both incredibly original and just a moving, interesting, and captivating read with the Mayfair witches trilogy.

I definitely recommend reading all three of these novels in the sequence in which they were written and intended to be read, if you dare and aren't easily scared, however they are all fantastic enough to read on their own, without the other two! But, as always, I strongly advise against it.


Synopsis:

““NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Taltos is the third book in a series known as the lives of the Mayfair witches ... Their haunted heritage has brought the family great wealth, which is exercised from a New Orleans manse with Southern gentility; but of course, such power cannot escape notice ... or challenge ... [Taltos] is a curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.”—The Washington Post Book World

Taltos continues the epic occult saga that began with The Witching Hour and Lasher. Taltos takes readers back through the centuries to a civilization part human and part of wholly mysterious origins, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt.””

Lasher Summary


The Review:

The Mayfair Witches trilogy continues with Lasher, the second volume by author Anne Rice. To put it frankly, The Witching Hour was unusual; Lasher is bizarre to the point of insanity. In this novel, we follow the lives of the main cast, the family, and the familiars. Birth, bondage, death, sex, and history collide in a horrific collage of seemingly lucky interactions. Is it fate that these big events take place? Is there a chance the Witches may choose a different fate? Should they come up with their own? Did I say anything about Christian blasphemy? So it's up to you to make a decision. This enjoyment is a self-destructive emotional and cognitive practice. Kudos to the author, as usual. A fantastic performance!

After finishing The Witching Hour, I felt like the ending was off, and that there must be more books. I had no idea it was a trilogy at the time. I was busy at the time and couldn't read properly, but the plot gripped me, and I devoured the volumes like they were candy. It's a unique blend of science and fantasy, and the main characters were engrossing, albeit not always easy to relate to because of the weirdness.

Before I continue, I need to clarify something. This is not the series' first book. Before returning to this book, please read the first one The Witching Hour. You won't understand or enjoy it if you don't. And keep in mind that the first book in the series needs to explain a lot of stuff so that you can continue reading the next book (Lasher)and so on (Taltos) with a full understanding of what is what, how is how, and who is who. It means that the book is large and may seem tedious to some readers who are unfamiliar with Anne Rice's writing style, but trust me when I say that she is amazing once you get used to it.

If you enjoyed the first book The Witching Hour, you will want to continue reading the Lives of Mayfair Witches series. This book is much more unconventional than the first. Is it entertaining? - Yes, however, it may be a bit lengthy for some readers. I've read a lot of books, and these are an excellent sample of what you may pick up after finishing a few really fantastic novels/classics. They're just easy to read and, to some extent, interesting. The excessive amount of sexual content may turn off some readers, and obviously, it is not suitable for anyone under the age of eighteen.

This novel expands on the family tree, both in terms of present family members and the depth and history of prior generations of the Mayfair Witches. I was disappointed by the lack of chemistry between Michael and Rowan, which didn't appear until towards the conclusion and appeared scant.

I understand that author Anne Rice needs to create the setting for the trilogy's last novel, Taltos, and the passages do mention Michael and Rowan, but I'm missing them.

Without giving anything away about the plot, the chapters on Julien's life were some of the most enjoyable.

Excellent continuation of the first book, fleshing out the characters and providing backstory for LasherAnne Rice's ability to generate a feeling of atmosphere, as usual, sets the tone, and her descriptions of New Orleans capture every facet of that metropolis.

There is no repetition in this sequel, which some readers found tedious in the first novel. However, you will need to read the first book in order to comprehend this one, but it is well worth it! Lasher and Taltos are gems, and you won't be able to put the books down once you've picked these up. Just start reading the series. You won't believe what awaits you!

Warning: Spoilers ahead... Lasher has a lot to offer. The sequel to "The Witching Hour" picks up just where the first novel left off, with a cliffhanger finish. Lasher is alive and well, and he is about as terrible and horrifying a creature as there has ever been, yet he retains a terrifying innocence and sincerity.

He's just as cunning and vicious as he was as a spirit, and it turns out he's a distinct species from humans who wants to repopulate the planet with his own race.

We discover some fascinating facts regarding the Mayfair witches' and Michael's bloodlines. We meet Rowan, who is still torn between her feelings for Michael and her fascination with Lasher and what he is.

A prophecy is given, as well as a lengthy flashback from Julien's spirit, so you know where the tale is going. Lasher also has a major flashback scene in which we learn his whole past. There's a lot of excellent old-fashioned gothic horror, as only Anne Rice can describe it.


Final Thoughts:

The narrative of Lasher continues in book two of the Mayfair Witches Series, and the plot only gets better. It's full of intriguing characters, plot twists, witches, demons, and history, as are all of Anne Rice's stories. A well-written novel with a fantastic location in New Orleans. This is the second book in the series that I strongly recommend.

In this collection, Anne Rice hits close to home for me. It's enticing and unsettling, and it's a selection that will stick with you. Michael, like Aaron Lightner, has rapidly become one of my favorite characters. This is a must-read. This is not for the faint of heart. Definitely not for teenagers!!


Synopsis:

“At the center of Anne Rice's brilliant novel, the beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, must flee from the darkly brutal, yet irresistible demon known as Lasher. With a dreamlike power, this wickedly seductive entity draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of spiritual aspirations and passion.

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 TalamascaAnne 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, RamsesAnne 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. . . .”
