I enjoyed this book far more than 'Interview with the Vampire,' where Lestat was made out to be the villain. We learn more about Lestat in this book and can't help but feel sorry for him. This story begins with the early education and adventures of Lestat, his coming of age, his fearlessness, his passion. We are with him as he receives The Dark Gift. We are with him as he passes The Dark Gift on to those he loves in order to save them, only to lose them in the end. We learn more about the ancient ones and Those Who Must Be Kept, as we follow Lestat throughout the centuries in search of answers, in search of love. We learn why he has so many enemies. The Vampire Lestat, the damnedest creature indeed. What will become of him?
