Things I liked: 

- There weren’t much L/L moments, but the few ones were just great ;n; Their relationship felt very domestic & supportive to me & I just loved that. The waltz at the end was everything I ever needed in my life. 

- Cyril is one of my new fave characters.

- Also, I liked Mitka. He didn’t do much, but he’s kinda cute & cheerfull, and his relationship is Lestat was also cute (I ship it, and a Louis/Lestat/Mitka threesome would be great too)

- Gabrielle & Lestat relationship was great too. Again, we don’t see them interacting much, but they few momments they have together were really nice. 

- The action/violence was good. 

- Marius readjusting his head was pretty cool. 

- We barely see the replimoids and there is much less vampire science

- Lestat in this book feels a lot like TVL! Lestat; optimistic and a bit naive. Also he is such a disastrous leader, half of the time he has no idea of what to do, and the other half he doesn’t care. Plus I feel he was very vulnerable & I loved that. 

Things I didn’t like: 

- The conflict could have been managed better. 

- Rosh had potential as a character & I felt he was such a waste in this book. 

- There are things that came out of nowhere, like the whole iron thing & snapping the necks, that bother me. It just seems imposible that very few vampires knew this, and that it never came up on other entries of the series. 

- The last 3-4 chapters were boring and sometimes even stupid, even though they do have some small golden momments.
