Summary

'In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken....'

At the novel's centre: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has taken possession of his undead body and soul.

This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history and insidious reach of the unknowable universe. It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times - a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent - and of how and why this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean.

And as we learn of the mighty powers of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit.

Loved this one; especially the narrator

Thought the storyline was great and the narrator had excellent gravitas. Probably my favourite narrator this far

I flipped back and forth so much until it was over

Really didn't know how I'd feel going into this or what to think of it until it was finally done. I've been going through the vampire chronicles one after another for a couple months now and while I really enjoyed this one, I don't think I'd have felt the same if it wasn't all so fresh in my mind.
An interesting story that you should stick with but even people familiar with the series will want a refresher before they jump in.

good concept

The story is a good concept and like all the Anne Rice chronicles has a wonderful and unique history to vampirism. The problem i found with the book was the amount of padding verses the depth of the story. I think the new characters and the story around their creation deserved a better and far more indepth telling, but to much time was spent describing clothing and seating arrangements. Its a shame that the book did not appear get the dedication that its concept required to create the potential that is undoubtedly there within the tale.

I vant to suck your blood

why oh why has the accent of dracula been used, all these vampires are a world unto themselves and most of them in this where spoken as they where all Romanian... it was painful to hear lestat or Marius sounding the way they where read... and Armand... I slapped my forehead.

I don't doubt Simon vance is a brilliant reader, its not I with my half British half Irish accent could compete but this is as far away as possible from fitting to his reading style, not to mention no understanding of each character... a simple Google search of each character and the correct accents could have been spoken, Simon narrating speech is brilliant if i have to salvage anything.....

regardless, this is a good story from Anne Rice

May she rest in peace

A real mixed bag

The story was strangely interesting and went into great details in some parts, but also totally skipped important factors. The vampire clan came across rather simple minded, especially for creatures who have been around for a few thousand years. The sharpness and beguile of earlier books long gone. If we were to believe that Amol was a powerful spirit who was already a few thousand years old when Atlantis was destroyed, how did his replamoid body disintegrate? When he entered Akasha, what was it that made them creatures of the night? why were they weakened and destroyed by sunlight? where did the teeth and blood drinking come from? Especially as Amol was mainly a vegetarian, with meat needing a festival to come into the diet. It was like we just won't mention anything about that... I can't see much room has been left for the story to develop, so it was a poor send off for Lestat IMO.

Another Great Audiobook From Anne Rice

Anne Rice has written yet another great book in her Vampire Chronicles series.

I’ve really enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

It’s even more enjoyable for the fact that Simon Vance is once again narrating it. He really makes Lestat and the other characters come to life.
