Does Memnoch the Devil get better?
Got into this fandom last year from watching the show, and I’ve been slowly getting through the books. I’ve been really enjoying them so far (for the most part) and I intend to read them all.
Currently, I’m around half way through Memnoch the Devil (chapter 11), and I’m kinda struggling with it.
The beginning felt like it just threw me into the action, but was quickly followed by like 50 pages of backstory, which was a drag.
I did enjoy a lot of the conversations Lestat had with David, Armand, and Dora.
But all this about heaven and hell and god and Memnoch. In all honesty, I don’t really care. I found the descriptions of heaven difficult to follow. And now that Memnoch is talking about creation, I’m just waiting for it all to be over.
I’m not religious. I’m an atheist from an atheist family. My knowledge of Christianity mostly comes from Good Omens (ironically, a photo of Crowley is my bookmark). I don’t really care for religion. Is this book only designed for those who are into religion or theology?
I do plan to read it because I want to read the whole series, but I just want to know what to expect from this book (in a non spoilery way). Does it get better?
