Book 7 of 7: Odd Thomas

The Review

Dean Koontz's Saint Odd is the seventh and final suspense novel in his Odd Thomas series. Bantam Books first published the book on January 13, 2015. In 2015, Saint Odd received the Goodreads Choice Award for Horror. Odd Thomas is without a doubt one of the most charming and enduring characters in the modern horror/thriller/paranormal genre—and Dean Koontz has handled Odd's story as wonderfully in this book as he has in previous novels in the series. I did notice fewer "treasures" in this one—those unexpected tidbits and twists of language that take you off guard when you reach them. There are fewer gems in this book, but those that are there shine even brighter because of their rarity.

This is the seventh book in the Odd Thomas series (eighth if you include Odd interlude as a separate part), and it addresses the same issues that have been discussed throughout the majority of the series: the fight between Good and Evil. Odd Thomas, a former fry cook, is tasked with preventing a satanic sect from carrying out a sinister scheme and must race against time and the forces of evil to do it.

I listed eight books, but it becomes a little more confusing when you include "Odd Thomas: You Are Destined to Be Together Forever," but it's only a 38-page novella, so I'm not considering it among the main novels; nonetheless, I'll review it in a few days.

Then there are three graphic novels that might be added to this list that are all prequels to the main Odd Thomas story, but I'll go into each one separately later.

The novel has a lot of positive things going for it, the primary one being that it eliminates all of the more sophisticated features of the recent books: there is no dimension jumping, no parallel worlds, no horrific monsters, and no alternative demonic Odd Thomas doppelgangers. 

This book's evil is certainly human, which is a nice return to what made this series so fantastic in the first place. 

Odd is also as lovely, humble, and valiant as ever, and it's always a pleasure to read about his exploits. 

Finally, this novel feels like a sort of reunion, with Odd returning to Pico Mundo, Chief Porter, and Ozzie Boone. This adds a nice fullness to the plot.

The next few lines may include a few minor spoilers for people who have never read the preceding book in the series, so only read if you are currently on the sixth book. And yes, some of the little details from this book are included as well, so if you don't want to know anything from this volume, simply skip to Final Thoughts.

I believe the book contains certain irritating peculiarities that a frequent reader may notice, although they are not as awful as they sound:

The first one that comes to me is that one of the main draws of the book series is Odd's ability to see the lingering dead, but that component of his character is completely absent from the novel. 

Ghosts emerge, although their appearance is fleeting and irrelevant to the plot, and they may have just gone unnoticed. 

In reality, there is a misuse of psychic magnetism, which serves as a deus ex machina to move the tale along and get Odd where he needs to go, but it is a power he possesses and employs. And I believe it is what he should do whenever he needs it.

The second is that it appears Dean Koontz was unsure what to do with Annamaria, one of the important supporting characters in the previous books, thus she was essentially disregarded for the duration of the book. 

There's no conclusion, no explanation for all of her secrets, why she's always pregnant, or why she opted to join Odd in the first place. There are just confusing faux explanations that don't actually explain anything at all, which is terribly frustrating given that this is the final book of the series, but I still hope it has a purpose and Dean Koontz will someday bring back this series with a bang and give us all the answers.

The third point to make is that, while Odd does manage to resolve the immediate threat he is facing, it doesn't really do anything in the big scheme of things. He doesn't truly deal a fatal blow to the Evil group he's after; he only halts their present strategy. 

Nothing prevents them from trying again next month. Is Odd's final journey truly going to be that? Deeply Odd's events, on the other hand, are perhaps far more upsetting, demonstrating that it was not the series' last novel.

Fourth, the ending is surely kind of disappointing for the final book in the Odd Thomas series. We are told that there is a continuous battle between forces of good and evil, and Odd is only a soldier in this conflict, fighting with numerous other invisible heroes. 

Odd's exploits are finally done, and we know how the conflict will go on without him. In fact, the ending of Odd's tale isn't even really related to the plot of the book; it's as if there was a desire to make this the final book, so a series ending chapter was added, whereas otherwise there would've been an eighth book, which I still believe will happen and we will read the next book someday in the future.


Final Thoughts

Odd Thomas has been a favorite of mine from the first book. If you haven't read any of them yet, do yourself a favor and do it right now.

If you're a fan of Odd, as I and many others are, you'll like this last episode of the series. By the conclusion, you'll both love and despise Dean Koontz. 

I've read practically everything he's written, and this is most likely his masterpiece. It's unusual for me to be sad in the midst of such grief and still be filled with hope and pleasure, but that's exactly what this narrative has done for me. 

And I've been sad, and I'm still sad as I type this. I was overcome with emotion by the beauty of what I read and the way it penetrated my heart and thoughts.

The characters in this novel shimmer and radiate, as they do in all of Koontz's writing. They've matured over the course of the series, and while the finale was fixed in stone on a macro scale, the circumstances around it were fluid enough to allow for some very imaginative details. 

Even though I knew how it would end, I was nearly taken aback when it did. I hoped for something else—something more. I really want to say that I'm not sure what was "missing" from this ending—so it's subtle that I can't even tell you what it was. But I know what it is: the sadness of knowing that I will miss Odd, and the beauty of the finale, which will undoubtedly make many readers cry.

Finally, I wish I could read more of this, and I am confident that all readers who will read this series will feel the same way. Really great and highly recommended novel and series.


Synopsis

The synopsis below is from the audio version of this book.
“From "one of the master storytellers of this or any age" (The Tampa Tribune) comes the stunning final adventure of "one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction" (The Virginian-Pilot) - as #1 New York Times best-selling author Dean Koontz brings the unforgettable odyssey of Odd Thomas to its dazzling conclusion.

Odd Thomas is back where it all started…because the time has come to finish it. Since he left his simple life in the small town of Pico Mundo, California, his journey has taken him to places strange and wonderful, mysterious and terrifying. Across the land, in the company of mortals and spirits alike, he has known kindness and cruelty, felt love and loss, saved lives and taken them - as he's borne witness to humanity's greatest good and darkest evil. Again and again, he has gone where he must and done what he had to do - for better or worse - with his courage and devotion sorely tested, and his soul forever changed. Every triumph has been hard won. Each sacrifice has taken its toll.

Now, whatever destiny drives him has finally steered his steps home, where those he cares for most surround him, the memory of his tragically lost true love haunts him, and one last challenge - vast and dreadful - awaits him. For Odd Thomas, born to serve a purpose far greater than himself, the wandering is done. Only the reckoning remains.”

The Regulators Review

Stephen King, American, Fantasy, Fiction, Ghost, Horror, Literature, Paranormal, Supernatural, Suspense, Thriller, Urban

The Regulators

Published: 24, September 1996
Author: Stephen King
Genre: American, Fantasy, Fiction, Ghost, Horror, Literature, Paranormal, Supernatural, Suspense, Thriller, Urban

Check the summary of this book here:


The Review

Stephen King's work The Regulators was written under the alias Richard Bachman. It was released in 1996, along with its "mirror novel," Desperation. The two novels depict parallel universes in relation to one another, with most of the people from one story appearing in the other's reality, but under different circumstances. Furthermore, when the hardcover first editions of each novel are placed side by side, they form a full painting, and on the back of each cover is a glimpse at the cover of the book on the other side.

Stephen King had already "killed off" Bachman after the alias was widely revealed around the time of the publishing of Bachman's novel Thinner in 1984. However, according to the book's jacket and a tongue-in-cheek preface by the book's editor, Bachman had written this 1996 work years before, but the manuscript had just recently been discovered in a trunk by his widow.

As always, the author provides just the right amount of tension and backstory. You only receive enough information to keep you reading.

I've seen a lot of criticism for this book, and the major reason is because of Stephen King's detractors who dislike him because of his views, as well as those who read Desperation before reading this book. 

If you like the author and aren't seeking for literary greatness, just a fun fast-paced read, this is the book for you.

I really don't have any issues with this narrative, which begins on what looks to be any typical day in an Ohio suburb, except that on this day, the people awoke in the Twilight Zone, but I don't think any episode of the Twilight Zone could be as brutal or horrific. 

The author describes the setting so brilliantly in this narrative that you can almost hear the chirping birds yourself. That is, until the first bullet blasts out...

Tak, in my opinion, is nothing compared to the Crimson King of the Dark Tower series or the renowned Randall Flagg from The Stand; he was simply a tiny pervert with a taste for chocolate milk and Chef Boyardee. But the destruction wrought by it made me sad and enraged.

Though Stephen King does not explicitly declare it in "The Regulators," it is linked to "The Dark Tower" in some way, as are all of his writings. Tak, the malevolent monster, speaks in the same dialect as the can-toi in "The Dark Tower." 

I also feel that the Tower's appearance on that specific Earth is mentioned at the conclusion, and there's a strong suggestion that Tak originates from the same place beyond the world as Pennywise/It and the Crimson King. 

In fact, the end of "The Regulators" helped me understand something that happened at the end of "The Dark Tower." I wish I had the opportunity to ask Stephen King if my assumptions about these relationships are correct!

I felt bad for everybody connected, especially the kids. However, I am conflicted about the outcome of this narrative. The way it finished makes you wonder why this narrative went on for so long. 

When the reality about why toy vehicles were out to harm them was eventually exposed, the threat was easily handled. It's no surprise that a specific character only joins the other characters in the last 20% of the novel. There was no other way for this narrative to conclude than the way it did.

I previously indicated that I read Desperation before reading this book, and if you have, you should be aware of a problem. This novel will strike you as strangely familiar, and not in a good way. 

I propose placing some books and time between the two to reduce your inclination to despise it right away because of the recasting of people in whole new settings, with new personalities and families. 

Desperation is my favorite of the two, although it might be because I read it first. It's not that I despise this book; in fact, I adore it. The main difference for me was that I felt the characters in Desperation to be a little more realistic; they are extremely similar to characters the author has used in previous works.

The beginning was thrilling, the middle was just what a middle is, but the conclusion was thrilling as well. It was a very traditional (for Stephen King as Richard Bachman) horror story, complete with the usual (once again usual for Stephen King) gore. 

However, a number of the characters were well-drawn and the type you'd like to see make it to the conclusion. 

As is generally often the case, there was a twist in the end. I didn't mind that the tale rambled a little. Anyway, if you enjoy King, or in this instance Bachman, you'll probably like this. 

Some of the stuff I didn't like, but I reminded myself that it is a horror novel with a monster in it, similar to IT, and I began to feel a little more at ease.


Final Thoughts

This is one of those novels if you appreciate Stephen King's writings that make you wonder where he got the idea from when you read them. It's fast-paced, gory, and you know you're reading one of his stories when you finish it. 

I read this immediately after finishing "Desperation," which was an unbelievably good novel. The Regulators include some of the characters from Desperation, which I thought was a clever twist. 

The first few chapters of The Regulators have you hooked and you won't be able to put it down. The plot twists, turns, and shocks are excellent. 

While reading this, you were transported to an "other" universe. The author has a fantastic imagination, which he utilized to its full potential in this novel. You have the impression that you are actually on Poplar Street!!!

I like the parallel tale with the same people from Desperation as well as Tak, the same quack villain.

If you enjoy classic Stephen King stories, you'll enjoy this one. I read this after finishing Bag of Bones, and it made me melancholy. This is why I fell in love with The King. 

I'm sure many people like the new King, which is also great. I like it as well, but keep the gore coming! The Regulators had enough of it, and as long as you don't take this narrative too seriously, I think you'll find it amusing, to say the least. "The Regulators" is a vivid, inventive, and nasty story.


Synopsis

“Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic, terrifying New York Times bestseller of those caught between the surreal forces of good versus evil in a small suburban Ohio town.

“The red van rolls past…humming and glinting. …Things are happening fast now, although no one on Poplar Street realizes it yet.”

It’s a gorgeous midsummer afternoon along Poplar Street in the peaceful suburbia of Wentwort, Ohio, where life is as pleasant as you ever dreamed it could be. But that’s all about to end in blaze of gunfire and sudden violence, forever shattering the tranquility and the good times here. For the physical makeup of Poplar Street itself is now being transformed into a surreal landscape straight out of the active imagination of the innocent and vulnerable Seth Garin—an autistic boy who’s been exposed to and possessed by a horrific, otherworldly force of evil, one with sadistic and murderous intent and who is willing to use whatever means necessary to grow ever stronger.”

The Wolves of Midwinter Summary


The Review:

The Wolves of Midwinter is Anne Rice's wonderful follow-up to the novel The Wolf Gift, which was published in 2012. Anne Rice, as only she can, conjures a detailed world of earthly magnificence. It's almost as if you can smell the cold, damp woodlands and taste the delectable Christmas feast. This book follows the events of the first one from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve. Anne Rice's exceptional ability to describe rich environments is showcased in this outstanding and original series. It's truly an enjoyable read.

Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors, and her novel, The Wolves of Midwinter, was no exception. Characters with depth and vivid details, like in all of her stories, which I adore. Insights on human personality and characteristics.

The questions we have about who we are and why we exist, as well as the idea of living your own life rather than the one others wish for you are all wrapped up in this magnificent narrative, and what a fantastic and completely enthralling tale it is.

Anne Rice was a gifted writer, and the historical details woven into the plot are one of my favorite aspects of her work, as was her ability to make the reader feel as if they are a participant in the tale.

She had the capacity to paint a picture with words so that you can see everything, which is a gift that many authors strive for, and she was also capable of making you care about the characters.

You fall madly in love with them. and they become so real that when you tell someone the tale, they think you're talking about actual people. Her characters come to life thanks to her.

She possessed the uncommon ability to pace a story in such a way that it keeps you on the edge of the seat. She throws some surprising twists to steer you in another path as soon as you believe the tale is heading in one route.

The marvel is that these turns are generally subtle—just something you hadn't considered before. There's nothing crazy or unbelievable here. In fact, if she reveals the mechanisms they employ to keep themselves concealed from us, you might be able to understand the possibilities of our cohabitation with amazing creatures like vampires and werewolves.

She pushes us to think about big subjects like God, right and wrong, passion, devotion, fairness, and moral beliefs, as she usually does. She even asks us to think about their definitions! There isn't anything in this that is black and white, and there aren't any clear solutions.

As with the prior volume, I thoroughly loved this book and the tale it tells as much as, if not more than, the first.

I thought this output was a fantastic addition to the actual story, branching out almost all of the main characters while also unveiling a slew of new ones, providing a wealth of Morphenkinder background, and presenting us to some of the other "Ageless Ones," particularly the Forest Gentry and the Geliebten Lakaien.

I appreciated Anne Rice's deep and thorough details of people, places, and events as usual, and I thought the tale flowed at a steady and engaging pace, even if it was a little sluggish for a non-Anne Rice reader.

In comparison to the otherworldly vampires in her other series, these books feel fresh and down to earth. The Distinguished Gentleman is a mystery group, with just a few details about their remarkable past revealed.

I was hoping Anne Rice would continue Reuben and Laura's escapades since she neatly ends off their narrative. But I've always wanted to learn more about them, and now that Anne Rice has passed away, I won't be able to do so.

The Forest Gentry is a new tribe of otherworldly creatures featured in the novel. They are enigmatic, and one isn't clear where their motives lay at first and this adds to the mystery and intrigue.

Reuben's capacity to love others nearly necessitates a leap of faith, yet it is precisely this quality that makes him so likable: he is pure of heart. Another aspect of this novel that I found humorous was Reuben's and the rest of the pack's luxurious lifestyles, and how if you throw enough money at a problem, it will solve itself.

Yes, that is true in many circumstances in real life, but keep in mind that this is a fantasy and fiction novel, and Anne Rice compensates for it with her rich description of the environment and superb character development.

There is less action in this novel than in the last one, but what we do get is fantastic. The objectives for the attacks are carefully chosen and appropriate, and you receive a sense of accomplishment when they are completed. This sequel was more on the relationships that developed after the events of the first and how Reuben must come to grips with how things will continue now that he's eternal.

This book, like the last one, deals with the meaning of evil, what happens when we die, and other philosophical issues that we face in life. There are several fantastic character developments, particularly with Reuben's brother, Jim, and their father, Phil.

I thought the book's key supporting characters had a lot of hidden depth. It's very often that you find such character growth in a novel of this kind, but it works extremely well. Not just werewolves, but also the Ageless Ones and the Forest Gentry intrigue me. I must say, once again, that I wish I knew more about them.

Overall, I think it's a worthy follow-up to the previous novel The Wolf Gift. Unlike many of today's popular otherworldly tales, Anne Rice obviously knew how to create an exciting book with depth.


Final Thoughts:

First and foremost. You must read "The Wolf Gift," the first book in Anne Rice's "The Wolf Gift Chronicles" series, before reading this book.

I thought it a little sluggish at times, but Anne Rice depicted clothing, décor, courteous discussions, and the splendor of the wealthy in great detail. I found it was gory, but I enjoyed the part where she depicted devouring the evil guys. I also like the human interest elements. 

A lot is going on, which is exactly what a good series requires, so the "slow or sluggish" portion is really a result of a lovely and well-established series as with almost all Anne Rice novels.

Overall, I agree with the sentimental conclusion that this is a pretty distinct take on the werewolf genre. I wouldn't call the creatures in this book adorable, but from a literary standpoint, this representation of the beast is pretty compelling.

Have you ever dreaded the finish of a book you were reading? That was my impression of this book. I completed it, and it made me sad! Yes, I get melancholy when I'm about to finish a fantastic book, and occasionally the conclusion of a series fills me with the same dread and grief.

Life moves on, though, and we must continue on with our lives. I can only express my gratitude to Anne Rice for all of the lovely memories and multiple lifetimes of stories that she created for all of us, and she and all of her characters will be missed forever.


Synopsis:

“The tale of THE WOLF GIFT continues . . .

In Anne Rice’s surprising and compelling best-selling novel, the first of her strange and mythic imagining of the world of Wolfen powers (“I devoured these pages . . . As solid and engaging as anything she has written since her early vampire chronicle fiction” —Alan Cheuse, The Boston Globe; “A delectable cocktail of old-fashioned lost-race adventure, shape-shifting, and suspense” —Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post), readers were spellbound as Anne Rice imagined a daring new world set against the wild and beckoning California coast.

Now in her new novel, as lush and romantic in detail and atmosphere as it is sleek and steely in storytelling, Anne Rice brings us once again to the rugged coastline of Northern California, to the grand mansion at Nideck Point—to further explore the unearthly education of her transformed Man Wolf.

The novel opens on a cold, gray landscape. It is the beginning of December. Oak fires are burning in the stately flickering hearths of Nideck Point. It is Yuletide. For Reuben Golding, now infused with The Wolf Gift and under the loving tutelage of the Morphenkinder, this Christmas promises to be like no other . . . as he soon becomes aware that the Morphenkinder, steeped in their own rituals, are also celebrating the Midwinter Yuletide festival deep within Nideck forest.

From out of the shadows of the exquisite mansion comes a ghost—tormented, imploring, unable to speak yet able to embrace and desire with desperate affection . . . As Reuben finds himself caught up with the passions and yearnings of this spectral presence and the preparations for the Nideck town Christmas reach a fever pitch, astonishing secrets are revealed, secrets that tell of a strange netherworld, of spirits—centuries old—who possess their own fantastical ancient histories and taunt with their dark, magical powers . . .”

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 Lasher. Anne 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. 'Behind all the velvet drapes and gossamer winding sheets, this is an old-fashioned family saga - Anne Rice's descriptive writing is so opulent it almost begs to be read by candlelight' - "The Washington Post Book World".”

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 Communion Summary


The Review:

Blood Communion, Anne Rice's latest installment in her acclaimed Vampire Chronicles series, has some of her most potent, straightforward, and successful narrative writing to date. I agree with her that readers should avoid reading spoiler-filled book reviews about this novel. In the next paragraphs, I will not go into depth about the plot or what happens to the characters. I'll keep my comments to the broad implications that are important for comprehending and making decisions about whether or not to read this book.

This is the thirteenth title in The Vampire Chronicles. This epic series has been released over 42 years and culminates in this, the most current book. Even if there are many stories remaining to tell, this is a culmination of such magnitude that I, a devoted fan for the past many years, would be satisfied if this were the final installment.

The book is solely narrated by Lestat, which was a pleasant change from the many, many voices that had previously shared the pages with him. Even if a first-person narrator can never describe a narrative completely authentically, I admire his point of view. So, in order to hear Prince Lestat's voice, we must make do with hearing only his side of the story, which, although adequate, is not totally gratifying.

But, on the other hand, how can you not like his voice and the rash resolve with which he gives away the story's ending on the first page? However, as it is best if you find out for yourself, I will refrain from using such terms here.

This is a well-crafted, fast-paced, brilliantly alive, and occasionally terribly scary story written entirely in the first person by Lestat de Lioncourt. In today's society, the narrator wrestles with what his job as Prince of the Vampires has actually become on a worldwide scale—though not every single member of that tribe acknowledges his rule, which is a significant issue.

The intriguing environment into which Anne Rice transports us, as well as the seductive voice of the narrator, which makes the story compelling, amuse generously with writing so vivid, but streamlined, that it seems in the mind's eye to be a fantastic film or television series.

The profound intellectual and spiritual undertones are also consistent throughout the Chronicles; however, these components never detract from the basic entertainment value.

Consider this: predators are not inherently bad in nature; in fact, they are important for the health and well-being of prey populations in general, since they tend to cull weaker individuals such as the young, injured, or sick, as well as the old. Here in Anne Rice's reality, mortal people and post-human vampires coexist in the same realm as us, the readers.

The only true evil appears to originate directly from human nature, and its post-human version, with the option to select actions, is essentially the same. This wickedness is ultimately nothing more than a fervent desire for vengeance, a propensity to ruin lives and magnificent achievements, a lack of sympathy, basic brutality, and even a terrible desire to inflict agony.

We first encounter Lestat in his family's château in the Auvergne highlands of France. The castle has been largely repaired and now houses a large court. It is an attempt to create a center for vampire habits and existence, despite the fact that integrating so many millennia and cultures into one common culture appears to be unachievable.

However, when I read about this court, I am reminded of another. Versailles, the magnificent. Isn't it wonderful that the old Sunking has been replaced by a Prince of the Night?

There is, in fact, character growth. At least in the case of certain vampires. Others, such as the everlasting boy Armand, stay dormant. To the point that he doesn't see the irony in accusing others and being completely unforgiving and that made me smile because, despite all the changes, certain things remain the same, for better or worse.

These creatures of Anne Rice's limitlessly creative imagination are far too intricate and intriguing to perform "bad for evil's sake," as we occasionally see in lesser fantasies. The moral ambiguity at work in the Vampire Chronicles is as bit as terrifying as the "real world" human problems we presently face.

I'm also encouraged to think about if our populations are growing substandard because we no longer have natural predators that pose a major threat to us. Occasionally, I consider, are human wrongdoings like interminable wars, on a deeper level, our species' own predators?

Furthermore, in Anne Rice's latest offering, Blood Communion, the prospect of atonement, of acceptance of a healthy balance between predatory tendencies and the goals of a prey population grows as never before.

The concept of deliberate predation—to murder by choice, not just out of hunger, with the opportunity to kill solely the evil-doer—has been explored since the beginning of these Chronicles, which, despite several imitations, remain unique in modern literature. These vampires can read people's minds and have a high level of sensitivity, so they recognize a rotten apple when they see one: the rapist, serial murderer, sadist, and unregenerate destroyer of others.

A Blood Communion can also be referred to as a Blood Community. The same community that Lestat is attempting to create in his fortress. Is this, however, to say that the outcast has vanished? That resistance and the pride that came with it, as well as otherness and queerness, have all been conquered in order to build a society of like-minded creatures? For the sake of uniformity, has Anne Rice killed her Byronic Hero?

The ones who toss them out define the outcast and isn't the Vampire the appropriate image? Outcasts can discover their tribe if they refuse to be defined by what is deemed normal and acceptable. And how can an entire community of misfits possibly still be considered outcasts?

Final Thoughts:

I've always admired and respected Anne Rice's writing because she explores with concepts, starting with a sentence or an event and not knowing how it will turn out. It's a pleasure to read this discovery, just as it must have been to write it.

If you keep an eye out for it, the book hints to a bright new approach. It also has concepts that one might go into more, but they are all addressed so subtly that the narrative is a breeze to read, with some wonderful images to cap it off. Although it was a touch predictable for me, it was still a lovely and brilliant read by Anne Rice.


Synopsis:

“NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this spellbinding novel, Lestat, rebel outlaw, addresses the tribe of vampires, telling us the mesmerizing story of how he became Prince of the vampire world, and of the formation of the Blood Communion, and how his vision for the Children of the Universe to thrive as one, came to be.

Lestat takes us from his ancestral castle in the snow-covered mountains of France to the verdant wilds of lush Louisiana, with its lingering fragrances of magnolias and night jasmine; from the far reaches of the Pacific’s untouched islands to the 18th-century city of St. Petersburg and the court of the Empress Catherine. He speaks of his fierce battle of wits and words with the mysterious Rhoshamandes, proud Child of the Millennia, reviled outcast for his senseless slaughter of the legendary ancient vampire Maharet, avowed enemy of Queen Akasha, who refuses to live in harmony at court and who threatens all Lestat has dreamt of ...”
