Rice does an amazing job of painting a clear image in your head of her characters' surroundings. I've never been to Louisiana, but after reading these books, it seems like if I went there it would all seem/feel familiar.
Character development is another thing that she does very well. In the end of the series, Lestat is a completely different vampire than in the beginning. She does it in a way that while you're reading, you don't necessarily feel the shift, it's just natural. The same is true for some of the other characters as well.

Hi there Booklover83. I am a massive fan of the Vampire Chronicles except for the last two books. IMHO they were a big let down on the rest of the series, and a terrible ending to what is a brilliant series. I think that Blood and Gold is one of the best books in the series, however I really think the first "Interview with the Vampire" was never bested. I do love how Lestat's character evolves through the series and is my favourite character.Booklover83 wrote:So I did not find a thread for Anne Rice so I decided to start one. I have always enjoyed her as an author but realized I had never actually finished a vampire based novel by her even though I had a copy of the first three books in her Vampire Chronicles trilogy. I finished my first book from her last night. See my review in the review section for more info. How does everyone else like her as an author? I have read her Christ the Lord series and those were good but I had a tough time with her vampire series. Blood and Gold got me started so I am headed to the library tomorrow to grab a couple more from her.

Also, I always feared that I would get tired reading a series. She helped prove to me that I would not.
I look forward to reading more of her books in the future!

Just started "The Wolf Gift" not too long ago- I'm about half way through and I will admit it is pretty darn good. Addicting read and I'm curious to find out all of the things that are just waiting to be revealed. Excited that she has finally taken on werewolves!

I started with her The Witching Hour series and that was it!
She introduced me to this paranormal world and I thank her for that!
The vampire Chronicles was my first series about vampires and she made me fall in love with them!
Also I am in the middle of her new novel The wolf Gift and have to say love it so far!
