Review: Spellbinding! - I cannot get enough of the way Anne Rice so eloquently describes each setting and experience. To really make me see through Lestat’s eyes instead of rushing to the next scene like other writers do. Thank you for the journey, Anne.
Review: Enchanting! - This is probably my favourite of all the writings of the Vampire Chronicles. Extremely difficult to put down. Storytelling perfection!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stands the test of time, but culturally limiting
*by S***N on September 7, 2018*

I read the Vampire Chronicles when I was 12, and I've found that re-reading them again at 40 was well worth it. Anne Rice is a lovely storyteller. I love the historical aspects to her immortals. I do, however, wish Ms. Rice had given more cultural diversity to the historical context, because these are all immortals of a clearly Euro-Christian paradigm. I, for one, would have learned far more of the world around me if I had the gift of immortality. When, for instance, Makare lands in the "New World," her twin laments that she would have experienced unprecedented loneliness due to the false, Euro-centric idea that man somehow didn't exist in Peru a coup!e thousand years ago. In reality, Native South Americans were alive and well. Maharet also speaks of Jesus in the singular way Christians do, even though she was a "witch" from ancient Egyptian times, and would logically not have been a Christian. The Bible plays far too much of a role in these stories, holding these immortal characters hostage with archaic ideas of sin and evil, and imprisoning them in limited existential understanding. It seems difficult to believe that every single vampire we are introduced to is of Caucasian origin, has no real cultural understanding beyond the Euro-Christian, Bible tormented view, and after hundreds of years, learned nothing outside of those very limited paradigms. If you were immortal, would you not travel and learn something beyond being a white European? Anne Rice also tends to portray other cultures as being "ignorant," or somehow easy to control and dupe. The " ideal" beauty and intellect clearly belongs to the blonde haired, blue eyed archetype that, after awhile, indicated that, perhaps, Ms. Rice may do well to broaden her own cultural paradigm when portraying the immortal life experience. I just don't believe one who has conceivably lived to experience history firsthand would continually be so limited in worldviews. Other than these aspects of the writing I didn't pick up at the age of 12, I greatly enjoyed reading these books again at 40.
