Search - The Queen of the Damned (Vampire Chronicles, Bk 3)

Akasha, the Queen herself, who has risen from a six-thousand year sleep to let loose the powers of the night, dazzles in this mesmeric storytelling. Akasha has a devious plan to "save" mankind and destroy Lestat--in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead.

If you like Ann Rice, you'll love Queen of the Damned.

Third in the series. Plenty of fodder for Rice fans.

This is my absolute favorite of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and the wear and tear on my copy is true testament to that. Her history of how the vampires came to be and how all the various vampires are intertwined makes for a great read. The different pov's through out the book could have made reading it somewhat difficult, but for me it simply added much more depth to the whole story.

Man the movie did not do this book justice. You have to read it to find out all of the great things that went on that the movie doesn't tell you. Seriously so much more to find out!

I enjoyed this one much more than the _The Vampire Lestat_. Perhaps because there was a great deal more action, or perhaps because there were more familiar characters.
The different voices throughout the book were very interesting and I must admit that I enjoyed the others more than Lestat.
It would be, however, impossible not reading this back-to-back with _The Vampire Lestat_, as they flow together rather seamlessly. And while I am curious as to what happens next (and I do have the next book) I think I need to take a bit of a break, as the sections that move slowly, absolutely drag on and I don't really have the stamina for that right now.
