I've missed the second book in this series, I noticed after I had bought this one, but I figured I would be able to read it nonetheless. And I was able to do so which was nice. Anne Rice's writing style is very interesting and it draws my attention for sure. It's a bit different from the first one in it's places, due to the change of PoV's throughout the book.

The story is a very complicated but well executed and you get to learn pieces here and there until the final reveal. The story about the twins did drag on a bit, but it was needed however to make sure that things was understood. It was after all how the vampires came to be, but it was very long and took me a while to get through. I think I would have enjoyed that part better if it was a flashback instead of a character telling the story herself out loud to the rest of the group.

Overall an amazing story that I enjoyed.
