Every characters in this book are making their tributes to gods or in return the Divine Misfortune is a comedy fantasy and gets the good mark on it. Every characters in this book are making their tributes to gods or in return the tributes to the followers, It's similar to American Gods but not in a serious way to analyze the essential of what is god? Just like a crazy party with some hilarious plots that then was leaded to fight with the evil god. The story just spontaneously has it amusing style that like watching soap opera for a comic ambiance. This book is a good example that no need to tell a story with melancholy or heroic triumph as a center core of the story, with dialogues that can make you laugh intensely and comedy drams.
I was really into the raccoon- head god who was the course of The catastrophe, because he was adapting in mortal's world and sometimes his erratic behaviors and characteristics escalated the events became more fun. He wasn't a god who seriously treat his followers after he made a divine contract with them. Although near the end of the book that he had changed, and was trying to clean his mess for the mortal world. We hardly judge Immortals as they aren't essentialy equal to us on the same measurement. They are longevity that compare to mortals who just have short life span so that they have much time for doing anythings. On the contrary, it is hard to for gods to change themselves or learn a lesson. They usually don't pay attention on trivial things or give tutelage to their followers, just showing superb power to demand the obedience from devotees. Divine Misfortune is a book that very fun however still it is a book has it significant meanings. ...more

A unexpected stranger paid a dearly wage to Tom, and it is not just a job for musician like him. The perilous of unseen sleeping King was waiting for summon. He will find out the forbidden truth of the cosmos. Furthermore, he will be the herald of the sleeping King whom had been sleeping for a long time. Definitely a HPL typed story with a different background was set in NYC, also the book emphasizes the indifference is no different in front of the alien enmity such intimidating unknown omnipotence from outside space. Those mixing elements in this book that gave me an affirmation of Cthulhu ambient story. I think it is a good story, but is not a top-notch horror fantasy that compares to HPL’s masterpieces. However, the concrete of the story still has it own enchantment, most from the narrators.The First of the story was told by black Tom, which is a good example of preluding the story becomes more horrific. The second part of the story was told by the cop, which explained how he confronted Black Tom again and saved the world. But in this type of horror, safety is never for mankind , due to the awaiting malign force, whom is always lurking in darkness....more

I merely Dark Entries is one of the horror books with subtle meanings are hidden in the details. I was enticed by the vague form ghosts in this book. I merely took a glimpse of the phantom figures that appear in this book; this is trepidated for not showing me the what exactly happened in the story but with open ending for readers to fill the margins of the stories. This book is frighten not for the incorporeal ferocity but for the unpredictable developments.
The writing by Robert Aickman is exquisite with vivid haunting scenes that pervade the uncertainty of horror, the descriptions of ominous secrets are beneath inexplicit sentences; I think those factors of the writing would penetrate the veil of my dreamland. Moreover, it will become real nightmare even I put down the book. The story has its entry ,however, without exist so that you probably lost in this Labyrinthine story.
Dark Entries by Robert Aickman is a profound gem in horror literature. Especially for those readers whom are keen on books which engender unsettled feeling....more

The magic system is not just like the stereotype magic, the magic is being used like enigmatic phenomenon by systematic science. The magic users are not like thaumaturges but scientists. Especially Peter always innovate novelty tricks from his theoretical studies of magic. Moreover, utilizing them in battlefields rather than in abstract ideas. The conflicts with Faceless Man were more intense than the previous books. He also was facing Lesley who betrayed him and Nightingale, from the confrontations with Lesley that revealed the importance of Lesley for The Faceless Man, she was a pivotal part of Faceless Man's schemes. Therefore we have more chances to see Lesley's story lines in the later book I think. This book also includes some characters from the earlier books, which more connection with previous characters that not just their background stories. Overall, it is a good book in River of London series....more
Witches Abroad is a story with deconstructed fairy tales. Terry Pratchett has dissected symbolic elements of fairy tales from conventional fairy talesWitches Abroad is a story with deconstructed fairy tales. Terry Pratchett has dissected symbolic elements of fairy tales from conventional fairy tales as Grimm fairy tales. Those fairy tales that we already knew as bed-time stories are interpreted into new definitions in Witches Abroad. Cliche stories were demonstrated into new explanations in this book, fairy tales are changing new shapes as the story progressing. The characters as Granny Weatherwax, Margrat and Nanny ogg were those characters who questioned the absurdity of the stories in this book. Fortunes coincidently happened while characters were having dramatic story development. It is fun to read the three witches unraveled the fairy tale vibe stories as prevent them from replacing the reality of Genua. It is interesting that Terry Pratchett demonstrated those stale stories which are not suitable for real lives, they must leave spaces for those people who are living their own lives. When True lives were occupied by fabricated tales would be lost in uncontrollable circumstances. Moreover, not having the lifestyle you could have created which based on your own choice. P.S Granny Weatherwax was described as a bully in Witch Abroad that is so precise....more
The Bonehunters is Sixth book of Malazan Book of The Fallen, Its continuation of Sha'ik's rebellion and Tiste Edur's invasion to The First Throne and The Bonehunters is Sixth book of Malazan Book of The Fallen, Its continuation of Sha'ik's rebellion and Tiste Edur's invasion to The First Throne and The seven city. Also the story reveals The Nameless ones and the past of Icarium and Mappo. It seems to me that initially the segments of the stories aren't quite connected with each other, however nearly in the middle of the book, I gradually noticed the whole picture of The Bonehunters. The book is like passing baton, Previous five books are archaic Malazan histories of Bridgeburners, elder gods etc. Then The sixth book plays a crucial role in Malazan series to introducing readers of the continuation of new cast of characters and events. For example, The bonehunters is the members of 14th Malazan army. They had been through the conflagration of the fire element, the incident forged the 14th Malazan army into a new form, The Bonehunters, its meaning represents the new legend of the Malazan military force, which combined with old crews from the BridgeBurners and new crews of Malzan recruits. The Bonehunters inherited the spirit of the elite Malazan army, BridgeBurners. It's should have not surprised me that The perspective of the story from Malzan army has transformed into The Bonehunters because In Memories of Ice, it implied that Bridgeburners was going to retired, lots of casualties from Malazan armies were due to the conflicts in Genabackins and Seven cities. Although, the scenario of The 14th Malazan army was resurrected from the conflagration so touched me. I actually witnessed the new born spirit in Malazan generation, It not only associated the bond of comradeship also the new path for Malazan empire. isn't it so grand that I want to continue reading latter book of the series? Also the most climax of the book that is Tavore, kalam and T'amber were escaping from The cohort of Claws. Lassen ordered the assassination to Pearl and his Claws to carry out the order. I was impressed by the street fight that they were trying to survive from the claws. What a melancholy moment! I was dismal by some characters died in the escape, from now on, Tavore didn't have the support from Lassen. Furthermore, she and her armies would be marked as the renegades. The divide was shaped in the sixth book, The Bonehunters as Malazan's new development to the continued stories.
Erikson basically summed up some of the previous scatter story lines that were converge in this book. I was fond of some character's development, some new incidents in this book and a new path to Tavore and her Malazan armies. In a nutshell, The Bonehunters is a start for pristine of the new legends which connects to previous Malazan books....more
I was surprised by The Edge Chronicles which is a tremendously innovative and unique. The Twig trilogy was really stunning for me before I read years I was surprised by The Edge Chronicles which is a tremendously innovative and unique. The Twig trilogy was really stunning for me before I read years ago. I was entranced the world building, especially the WORLD BUILDING in The Edge is peculiar at any standard. Readers's attention would easily be snared by eerie and hostile creatures, special flora and fauna, spectacular ecosystem in The Edge. It's so conspicuous to readers that such strange but is full of vital and creative world is existed on the pages of The Edge Chronicles. And I must said that the Edge is a perilous place for the inhabitants. The Monstrosities of beauty always disengages pedestrians's defend therefore they would be trapped in the cruelty of the nature in the Edge. It would be a exultant reading experience for readers also has to prepare to be accustomed to this menacing story.
This tale is about a young librarian who wanted to go to the Deepwood and had some adventure instead remaining beneath in the sewers of Undertown, which is an inhabitat for the Librarian academics. They sent their superb candidates to the deepwood as librarian knights for training. The title of the book, The Last of the Sky Pirates: First Book of Rook means in this story that the buoyant stone was infected by the stricken-stone disease so that the sky pirate didn't appear after the disease. And a new technique appeared- skycraft, it doesn't need to use buoyant stone as fuel, and it resemble to paraglider. The world of the story progress well, and some old characters were back from previous Twig trilogy. Highly recommend this book!...more
When I was reading Small Gods, I was thinking what is the different between Tortoises and Turtles. (If I am right, just mention' turtle' two times in When I was reading Small Gods, I was thinking what is the different between Tortoises and Turtles. (If I am right, just mention' turtle' two times in Small Gods.) Anyway, this book is still a fantasy parody, at least the first half is hilarious, then in the second half of the book, the tune of the story shifts to seriousness as if the narrative has been told by a solemn preacher. I believe for many readers Small Gods is not only about belief of gods, also is related to human's welfare, philosophy, collectivism etc. Brutha was a novice owing to his prodigious memory, was picked up by Provis who selected him as a member to the diplomatic mission. He was the character tested by Om and manipulated by Provis, however he went through the purgatory that he was promoted to the Bishop and inevitably ascend to a prophet. Brutha was a good example of being a devout person in religious affairs. And he contribute the rest of life to the Library in Omnia. Provis said to Brutha that “I mean, that which appears to our senses is not the fundamental truth. Things that are seen and heard and done by the flesh are mere shadows of a deeper reality.” Fundamental truth has been mentioned in Small Gods many times, that remind me of humanity is inclined to twist truth to the purpose that that people want to believe....more
Terry Pratchett really know how to portray Death as a character! The descriptions of Death under his poetic writing were exceptionally good, it seemedTerry Pratchett really know how to portray Death as a character! The descriptions of Death under his poetic writing were exceptionally good, it seemed that Death has became more humanoid since Mort, so that in Reaper Man he was sent to the farm to work as a human. It is really not surprised that Death was imbued with concepts from human while he was connected with other human characters in the story, especially Flitworth was a generous character who proffered Death a work in the farm. She became more intimate with Death when they were working together. At this point, we can see Death was struggling with human emotions and incoporeal affirmation with Flitworth.
Meanwhile, on the another story line a reincarnated body became the undead, Windle Poons. He was facing a crisis with the city had been attacking by some parasitic creatures, for example: mutated trolley (I must say it is really unusual to read in fantasy worlds.), and other undead companions like vampires and werewolves would join with Windle to fight those parasitic creatures. This part of the story was a bit different than previous Discbooks as the two story lines weren't cohered with another firmly. So its disconnection would compelled some readers dislike the story, however its structures worked for me that I really didn't have the problem with these two story lines. Although Listening to the audio book version would be confused initially at first few chapters. I really like the death decided that he wanted his job back, after he defeated the new Death and came to the Death God and negotiated with him; it represents that Death was personified like a human being doesn't mean he can not do his job properly, on the contrary, the new Death was too dramatic to catch Death/Door. After finished reading Reaper Man I was so touched by the loneliness which for Death was his eternal identity. The ending scene was really quite poetic for me when Death was sitting in his chair in his mansion to think about the cornfield with upcoming harvest season.......more
Can a reluctant, selfish, self-loathing, pitiless antagonist save a world which he truly didn't believe? Power That Preserves is the answer to the queCan a reluctant, selfish, self-loathing, pitiless antagonist save a world which he truly didn't believe? Power That Preserves is the answer to the question. Thomas Covenant was sent back to earth for a short time. He was facing the charge that could evict him from his property, at the meantime everything would remind him of his daughter Elena, which was fallen to the pit in Rlvenrock. Also the consequence breached the law of death ,and thus Lord Foul could resurrect death from the Land. Covenant would face unbearable truth that in this book. He was a victim also a persecutor to those people living in The Land. He summoned Ranyhyn to Lena every year so that they were restrained to the bond of Law by the White Gold. His atrocities had caused many people who were suffered for him and he saw the consequence in this book clearly. Witnessed her daughter were resurrected by the Despiser to devastate the Land. Pietten was the kid saved in the conflagration now he revenged on those Reman and people from the Land. Those characters were being manipulated by Lord Foul but even they were being controlled by malign force that they still had their motivations as enemy to against the Land. Comrades and friends were corrupted or afraid of desecration neither help nor support Covenant. In this book Covenant had bigger dilemma than previous books. The conflict and stake were higher for him to overcome in the quest of saving the Land.
The Land was a place which were vigorous and healthy than Covenant's world, It was facing the malice nemesis, Lord Foul whom was corrupting the Land. It reflects symbolism to Covenant such as the Land is the healthier condition to him, Lord Foul is the represent of Leprosy. It's not so uncomprehending that Thomas Covenant resisted to believe the Land is really, the place where he lived gave him permanent damages that couldn't be cured by just escaping in these kind of harbour. For Covenant, the Land was simply a intangible illusion that hardly had effectiveness as medicine. On earth people treated him like a vermin hence he was instilled to believe that he wasn't deserved to be saved. But in first chapter of this book, he started to believe that he had harm some people he loved deeply in the Land. He did not believe the existence of the Land, however tried to salvage something from previous incidents. He wasn't a hero but still tried to redeem himself from the corrupted Land. Also those people were afraid of corruption is really similar to those people afraid of leprosy. Ironically, leprosy is a not even a concept for the people in the Land, they can't understand why Covenant was so scared other human beings touch him. The corporeal evil had magic power which jeopardised the Land is like infectious disease ,that had to be avoided. It is surprising that to see Covenant still loved the Land completely even though he rejected the summoner from the High Lord Mhoram. He was circumspect to make any decisions to save other people instead of himself before, so that we can see he had changed a lot as a developed character. Moreover, he knew the circumstance was at high risk but still ventured himself in unfathomable darkness that witch made him almost resemble to intrepid heroes. Also Foamfollower's accompany also compelled him traversing spoiled Plains to Foul's Creche. Lot of tragedies somehow convert Covenant from inanition to be a willing savor eventually. In the end of the story, The creator who gave the White Gold to Covenant thanked him and wanted to bestow him a gift- he can live happily ever in the Land or he can return to the earth. Covenant chose the later, however he was dying owing to the allergy of reaction to anti-venom. The creator saved Covenant from dying, then Covenant woke up, was still alive. The Land was preserved because Covenant chose to save the Land willingly, that even he didn't give the damn about the Land. I think it's the most touched moment for the end of this trilogy. Although if I were Covenant, I would undoubtedly accept to live in the Land.
I really like the story and the story recounts a not quite conventional story to readers. I think even heroes who can save the world frequently also desperately need redemption for themselves. But seldom regular fantasy books talk about this question to readers....more
Follow the previous book, Lord Foul Bane, Thomas Covenant was transported again into The Land after he picked up receiver talking to his wife. He was Follow the previous book, Lord Foul Bane, Thomas Covenant was transported again into The Land after he picked up receiver talking to his wife. He was summoned by Elena who was Lena's daughter. He knew that the quest was to retrieve the staff which was an machination to obtain the illearth stone. The lords and Bloodguard was confronting the impeding Lord Foul's armies. The group of Lords was separated into three parts some of them was fighting with Lord Foul's armies, the other was searching their ally, giants folk whom left messages to Revelstone, and Thomas and Lena was following the mysterious guide to where the seven ward was located.
The Illearth War introduced a new charater, Troy who was from the same world as Thomas Covenant was summoned into the Land. He was an entirely disparate character compares to Covenant. He is gallant and stalwart, he tried to save the Land from the Malign force which wanted to destroy the exquisite world. He wasn't resemble to Covenant in any way, he wasn't selfish or self-loathly, on the contrary, he always took risk even he knew the stake was so high. He was a blind whom couldn't have see any in his world but after he was in the Land, he was bestowed the gift ,which recovered his eye sight from the lords. So for readers, It would be a good experience to read a heroic character at least in half of the book.
Thomas Covenant was better in this book in many regards, he less mentioned his leper condition in this book, also he was trying to avoid making the same mistake as before. He became more insight and perceptive in this book.
"I'm trying to warn you. If you could hear it. It's going to happen to you, too. One of these days, you're going to run out of people who'll march their hearts out to make your ideas work. And then you'll see that you put them through all that for nothing. Three-hundred-league marches blocked valleys- your ideas. Paid for and wasted. All your fine tactics won't be worth a rusty damn. Thomas was a character more circumspect and enquiring than the other characters therefore other characters were desperately salvaging the circumstances, on the other hand he was enquiring the curcumstances and the motivations behind. An unlikable but indicate the logical questions for the other characters so that I actually didn't dislike him, I am quite agree with his point somehow. This world seems like Tolkien clone and it's true but with some special elements in first The Unbeliever trilogy. firstly. Reflect to Covenant's world, the Land was magnificent at any standard but was facing the devastating disaster. Covenant had the white ring but didn't want to use it to save the Land, it's interesting at this point because he loathed himself by Leprosy; unclean as he said repeatedly to remind himself of he didn't deserve treatment from kindness and generosity, especially The Land had many characters who didn't have discrimination to the leper like him and his multiple faults. He actually believe this fantasy world was an illusion, didn't be grateful of such wonderful world exist. his appearance was resemble to The Saver which was amplified his abysmal abhorrent toward to other characters in the Land. He was shun from the society ,however when he found a place can accept him, he treated it like a rotten meat. I found that it is ironic to the characters with the disease that needs compassion and sympathy to recover from but he couldn't accept the fact that the place was healing him, such a character could be saved? Furthermore, he was the chosen one whom was transported to preserve the Land. Secondly, the character was like Troy who was blind but after he was experiencing things that he hadn't experienced before, he found the miracle and he was becoming the character like the other characters in The Land (except Covenant ) who were afraid of corruption. After all even a beautiful place exist, it's still can not prevail the decomposition of humanity which potential harm gorgeous things. ...more

It is an extraordinary book withThe Einstein won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1967 and was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1968. It is an extraordinary book with lots of characters that their behaviors and colloquys in this book would confuse you at first read. The story seemed that characters didn't know their world, and their daily routines were just not resemble to the way they had had. But if we read the story further, would find out that the planet which they dwelt in wasn't theirs. The mythoses even anecdotes they learnt from their ancestors weren't their own ,instead telling other species's tales (yes this other species is us, human). I really like the concept of this book, maybe this is why the book won the Nebula Award in 1967. I was drawn in this authentic world immediately when I was reading it. By the unique abstractions I think it was easily hooked me in the world sometimes or most of time that even characters whom I didn't understand. The story truly has splendid vibe to readers, as we followed the protagonist Lobey who was searching for his beloved dead lady, Friza. The journey for him wasn't only his hero quest also was an introspected of self-discover and the analysis of mythology. And from the description of Lobey, we already perceived those characters are not like human.
What I look like? Ugly and grinning most of the time. That's a whole lot of big nose and gray eyes and wide mouth crammed on a small brown face proper for a fox. That, all scratched around with spun brass for hair. I hack most of it off every two months or so with my machete. Grows back fast. Which is odd, because I'm twenty-three and no beard yet. I have a figure like a bowling pin, thighs, calves, and feet of a man (gorilla?) twice my size (which is about five-nine) and hips to match.
The story was not about human being but those creatures with eccentric appearances. We would see other modern like techniques like the computer, screen panels, they were remained by human whom already left earth long time ago, and later earth had new inhabitants. Those new dwellers were living in earth for a long time, most of them forgot previous master of earth but with myths and tales, they were living like human, were telling human's stories although they didn't know what the stories mean and didn’t care. The story basically was a retelling mythology, the charactes's destiny were similar to the myth, they were becoming too similar to us to identify their old life before they came to earth. Some of the characters had superpower , however the story wasn't cliche owing to these superpower that how to be used as writing in the story. Nevertheless, these superpower are exactly fit in the world where the characters lived in. This book has fantastic abstractions and polished world building in less than 200 pages. I didn't know this kind of book exist before I read book recommendations from The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction by Neil Gaiman. I'm glad I did pick it up and read....more
H.P Lovecraft is a influential horror writer who crafted Cthulhu Mythos. He established grand concepts of fictional horror world, and At the Mountain H.P Lovecraft is a influential horror writer who crafted Cthulhu Mythos. He established grand concepts of fictional horror world, and At the Mountain of Madness mentioned some his terrific creations like the old ones, cthulhu, Shoggoth etc.. The most fascinating thing about reading H.P Lovecraft is that you would have a chance to take a peek from his cyclopean universe, there is full of sinister and atrocious god like creatures for human beings, and their histories and myths are engrossing to me to discover what the functions of the universe, the complex alien cosmos somehow intertwined with earth. Therefore, mankind is just infinitesimal animal compare to Monsters like Cthulthu. I really was amazed by H.P Lovecraft's short story collections few years ago. variably, I read At the Mountain of Madness in 2022 and I still enjoy his book.
The pacing of the story was really slow, at least half of the story is like expedition record. Lots of records were about the how supplies and explorations run as main description to the expedition that which was facing some obstacles or debacles in their journey to the mountain. After the expedition went further inside the mountain, would discover the archaic deserted city long time ago, The real horror of the story which commenced from it. So it took about half way to follow the narrator wandering around those ancient architectures through out fist half of the story, with plenty of descriptions of discoveries about antiquities, grotesque specimens etc. It requires patient to reach the real horror in this book so that it's not a page turner book, more like the histories of the mythology. In a nutshell, it's still a must read book for H.P Lovecraft fan....more

The city itself could reflect disparate spectrum form sun ray that scintillates different hues like kaleidoscope. beneath the splendid Viriconim would be infected by the permeable atmosphere. The unstable essential of the towers, ragtag slums and streets, even the capacious palace where the queen dwelt in. Reading Viriconium books as if I was inside a crystal with multiple facets, watching when slanting Light come in the crystal, it would radiate rainbow like patterns. It's sublime but hard to dissect the significant of the variety of colors. Viriconium is a city just existed by M.John Harrison's delicate writing, too subtle to perceive the substantial of the city instead by the wordsmith portrayed the magnificent dream city.
A Storm of Wings is more inexplicit than previous book of Viriconium, The Pastel city, frequently I found out that I was ensnared by profuse descriptions, its complexities almost misled me into uncomprehension. I'm still not one hundred percent sure that I captured all the meanings in Viriconium but I was touched by the writing which can transfigure mutations into something entirely phenomeon. The writer, Harrison not only depicted fabulous city landscape also utilized words to portray characters's emotion as related to The story. Although, the writing is not easy to understand for readers, its elliptical style could befuddle readers's mind but it's definitely not pall and cliche to read. Those who appreciate beautiful writing would easily be engrossed in viriconium world. It is a masterpiece remained for readers who truly appreciate a fantasy world was crafted by a wordsmith. ...more
The First book of The Aspect Emperor, The Judging Eye continue the story after the first holy war, the spectacularly stunning ending. The story was t The First book of The Aspect Emperor, The Judging Eye continue the story after the first holy war, the spectacularly stunning ending. The story was transferred to the second holy war which is against The No-God's forces like Sranc. The Aspect Emperor, Kellhus was recruiting armies to march to Golgottearth in order to eradicate the second apocalypse. In previous three books, Skin-Spy were appeared throughout Prince of Nothing series, but in The Aspect Emperor its existence seemed to be disappeared in The Judging eye, Just were mentioned by characters. But still we can see other eccentric creatures were vigorously presented in this book, especially Srancs were everywhere in TJE. And Aspect emperor had declared to hunt down Srancs, for those people who killed Srancs in exchange to have rewards from the policy. In contrast with hunting Srancs, the pitiful victim in this book must be Srancs,I've read them were killed numerous times in TJE. This series not only treat characters atrociously also non human creatures terribly, excruciations are for both human characters and monsters as anticipated reading experience. This book didn't give me too much collided plots as first installment of The Aspect Emperor book one I guess ,so that the story moved slowly and some POVs would be irrelevant for some readers to read. For me I don't mind the slow pace stories even the story just a set up for the next book. Still I think Drusas Achamian and Mimara are interesting characters and their stories were really shined in TJE. Cleric's story is really fascinating to me, Noman's histories were related to the first Apocalypse, they were fighting with the unholy consult for millennia and inevitably they were almost extincted from Earwa. I believe Cleric would be crucial role in later installments of TAM series. Overall, TJE is a excellent book after Prince of Nothing series. ...more
I decided to read The Vampire Lestat because the oncoming interview with the vampire TV series! I was impressed by The interview with the vampire so tI decided to read The Vampire Lestat because the oncoming interview with the vampire TV series! I was impressed by The interview with the vampire so that I highly anticipated The Vampire Lestat and I wasn't slightly disappoint. The Vampire chronicles world was expended in The Vampire Lestat, vampire mythologies and religion are presented in this book, and I must say compare to some vampire fantasy books Anne Rice has done well in crafting a convincible vampire universe. The story itself was narrated by Lestat's earlier life as mortal and how he became a vampire so the story itself had ancient vibe, what he had been experiencing being a vampire and what he knew about the principles of vampires, his desires and raptures were amplified by transforming into vampire. When Lestat was roaming in Pairs's boulevards and Egypt's streets that accentuated the exotica and disparate cultures. For me, it easily draw me in decades ago world with vampires living in the netherworld was concealed from mortals. I was enticed the world was crafted by Anne Rice again, Interview with the vampire was already a good story for me in medium size book length however, The Vampire Lestat proffered me more grandiose world building and vampire's histories. the seeking Marius is another significant point in this book. The journey to discovering the mysterious Identity of Marius was enthralling also accompanied unreasonable horror of vampire's histories. For this reason, I was eager to find out more backstories of Lestat, also the audiobook's narrator is really good to listen to. Lestat was a character who was capable of being competent protagonist in The Vampire Lestat. He is charming, valiant and venturous, he revealed a more horrific truth of vampires rather than his beloved Louise. Lestat had met multiple vampires in this book therefore the stories sometimes were divide into other vampires's stories, I also enjoyed those other vampire stories that they all are perfectly wedged in Lestat's stroy. In summary, The Vampire Lestat is worth to continue after read The Interview With the Vampire, it is a book with Expended vampire myths plus an interesting narrator....more
