Having loved Anne Rice's vampire books as a teenager, I decided to try one of her other series. This just didn't work for me. I had no problem with the writing, but I am not really into reading about witches. And the older I get, the less stories about the supernatural appeal to me in general. I dou...

I did enjoy this but feel serious editing could have helped in that 1342 pages was too long for the tale told.

My favorite Anne Book. Excellent. One of the biggest books I have read. I stand in awe of it's scope, but it is well worth it because it brings the goods. The other two in the series are good reads if you want to complete the arc (read the second, Lasher, at least), but this is well above them I thi...
