Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 8 (Spoilers)

Took me a couple of days but I finished the 100 pages long chapter telling the alien’s origin story, so, the more relevant parts

- They were created by an intelligent species that evolved from birds. They were sent to Earth twelve thousand years ago to destroy Amel and to destroy the planet, because apparently the aliens were angry that the mammals evolved to the be the dominant species on Earth, instead of reptiles or birds. Apparently they sent Amel to fulfill this task centuries before but he rebelled

- ok then

- The four aliens fell in love with Earth, didn’t want to destroy it. They arrived in the city of Atalantaya, the city where Amel lives. Apparently is a tecnological paradise with the kind of tecnology that we don’t have today

- Amel knows who they are and is pretty chill about it. He tells them that he wasn’t an alien, he was born human and was abducted to the planet of the Angry Alien Birds and modified there.

- He doesn’t believe the Angry Alien Birds wants to destroy the Earth, because he believes that they only want bloodshell and confusion. He believes that they feed on the suffering of humans, the four aliens agree with him

- This is actually a chilling idea, tho - advanced aliens making a less developed species suffers so they can feed on this suffering. Reminds me a little of the aliens from the third season of Torchwood [the ones who wanted children]

- They want to stay with Amel and desert the Angry Alien Birds plan, but the alien birds’s planet apparently explodes and the wreckage of the planet hits Atalantaya [and the rest of Earth of course] and triggers its destruction

- There’s also a strong implication that Memnoch is an alien??

- Wtf. Memnoch isn’t my favorite book, not by far, but I prefer him being Satan wannabe than an alien pawn

- All in all is not really a bad story, it’s well written and entertaining… but it looks SO out of place into a vampire’s book, positively cracky. This would work so much better if it was an independent book
