r/VampireChronicles

There's a lot of in in this article published today so I thought I'd share it.

I really loved AR's particular attraction to her first queer fans who came to a book signing dressed in 18th century clothing as Lestat and Louis. That audience is still a big part of her fandom. I wish she was still here to see what Sam, Jacob and Assad have made of her beloved Vampire Chronicles.

I know it's a long piece but I love seeing her old pho and also the list of events taking place in S.F.

Enjoy.

First off I want to say I thought it was really well written. I think this and TVA, as heartbreaking as it is, are my favorites so far.

I know when Anne first told the story of Armand and Marius, when Armand was telling it to Lestat at the castle that she probably didn't know she was going to take the story as far as she did. Hence why Marius never saved Armand. But the way she wrote TVA, Armand's complete devotion to Marius, and Marius seeming love and obsession for Armand, It really does not sit right with me that she basically had to come up with a reason why Marius never went to save Armand. (Because she already wrote it that way years earlier) But let me tell you my goodness, this book had me yelling. How quickly after Armand was kidnapped that he changed course to just forget him to go find Pandora. How extremely selfish was he to groom Armand and then let him go like that. I so wish that it could have been a different story that he would have saved Armand. It would have been so much more satisfying. It's eating at me.

I attempted to answer this question for myself and cannot.
