Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 7 (Spoilers)

Chapter 16 - Derek

- The alien gang is all together now

- The alien lady - Kapetria - is the leader of the small group and she seems awesome

- Yeah I think I like her

- Derek is overwhelmed but it seems to be fairly normal for him

- Lestat and Kapetria talked over the phone, arranged a meeting in Lestat’s place

(Btw Lestat’s place - the place where the other vamps reunite now - is the old castle where he spent his childhood, restored now)

Chapter 17 - Rhoshamandes

- Sigh, another one

- Rhoshamandes is outside Lestat’s Château, pondering if he should fuck shit up in a murder-suicide kind of way

- He’s talking about harming Lestat’s loved ones and I can only think about Louis, Gabrielle, David and Armand and uugh don’t you dare put your hands on any of them you dick

(I just noticed that I put Armand between my 5 most beloved characters, welp. I have such a love-hate relationship with this little shit, but I do love him a lot)

- But actually his melodramatic monologue in this chapter made me like him a little better

- His ex lover, Benedict, showed up and they’re both so emotional about it

- !!! he really loves Benedict a lot

- Rhoshamandes backed up and left with Benedict, I hope he doesn’t plan in fucking more shit up now that Benedict is with him again

- You guys have no idea how important it is to me that none of Anne Rice’s vampires are straight. None of them, not a single one

Chapter 18 - Lestat

- The alien arrived in Lestat’s Châteua and they’re going to a meeting

- Louis refused to join Lestat in this reunion lmao you’re already being a shitty consort Louis

- Well it seems that someone is a in a literally killer mood today (tonight?)

- They’re talking about how vampires shouldn’t be connected to Amel in this symbiotic relationship they have, that they should be independent

- …. ok then

- I mean I don’t really understand how they could do it but ok

- You can always count on Gabrielle to ask the really important questions <3 My beautiful lady, I love her

- Gabrielle is annoying Lestat so much, that’s my girl

- Actually I just realized… they’re all in Lestat’s childhood home. Which means they’re all in Gabrielle’s home as a mortal, the place where she had a very unhappy marriage and a bunch of kids that she didn’t care for, with the exception of Lestat. I wonder if she feels bad in being there again or if she’s utterly indifferent, as she is with most things lmao

Additional note: next chapter is Kapetria telling the story of her alien people. I looked it up and, I shit you not, the next chapter has exactly 100 pages, like… wow

I doubt I’ll be able to read it in one go without any breaks with vampire chapters, sigh

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 6 (Spoilers)

Chapter 13 - Lestat

- One more council meeting

- Well Louis, you’re pretty much the Prince’s consort now. Better get used to it

- “Louis was surely the youngest in the room”. You guys read that? Ok then, just you wait.

“her beloved Sevraine”  😍 Please tell me they’re a couple, Anne, please. I know none of your vampires are straight but please, give me confirmation and let me have this beautiful & badass vampire lesbian couple

- Remember that stuff about Louis being the youngest in the room?

- David is waaay longer than Louis Anne, for fuck’s sake. He has what, 20 years in the blood? He’s practically a baby. What is he doing here, what

- That’s why you don’t fire your editors, you know

- Marius being the monarch? EW

- But!!! I do love to see that Lestat is very indifferent about it. I LOVE it, ok? One of the things that I hated about Prince Lestat is the fact that I can’t see Lestat as this kind of leader. Lestat is no leader, he’s a rebel. He’s very unstable, he’s an adventurer, he’s defiant and he is by no means leader material. He doesn’t crave power, not in this way, so I’m glad to see hints in this book that he’s not really that happy with his situation

- Everyone wants to kill Rhoshamandes. Lestat is very adamant that they won’t kill him. Marius really, reaaaally wants to kill him.

- Yaaas tell him off, Lestat!

- Have I told you guys how much I dislike Marius? Because I do. I used to like him, but after seeing how he treated all his lovers - Pandora, Armand and Bianca - I started to truly despise him

Chapter 14 - Rhoshamandes

- Short chapter and really, I have nothing to report

- Except to say that the one thing I like about Rhoshamandes is how much he loves Benedict

Chapter 15 - Lestat

- Lestat is talking with another vamp (Arion) in the church of his childhood days

- Mona and Quinn are dead? Uh. Wasn’t expecting that

- Can’t say I’m sorry for Quinn. I hated, haaated him since the first lines of Blackwood Farm. I spent the whole book rooting for Goblin

- I didn’t read the Mayfair Witch books, so I don’t know that much about Mona. For what she appears in the Chronicles, she didn’t make any great impressions in me and I’m  indifferent about her

- Is Anne Rice slowly trying to erase everything that happened in Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle, lmao? I hope so, I detest those books

- Lestat stopped to light two candles before stepping out of the church, loved this part because it reminds me of when he did it in The Tale of the Body Thief and I really love that moment

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 5 (Spoilers)

(Posting with a title now to make things more organized)

Chapter 9 - Derek’s POV

- Aka Derek the sensitive alien

- Rhosamandes is such a dick I hate him

- He just chopped off Derek’s arm and threw it on the fire

- His arm is ALIVE? wtf. It crawled out of the fire on its own

- Welp it’s nice that I don’t have the disposition for nightmares because this is Some Fucked Up Shit

- WHAT

- HIS ARM TURNED INTO A PERSON??!? INTO A CLONE

- THIS IS NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS ANNE

- I can’t believe I had to read this chapter with my own two eyes

Chapter 10 - Lestat

- Short chapter, it’s most Lestat and Amel talking and Lestat brooding

- Happy to see that Lestat doesn’t trust Amel that much, after all

- Ok I don’t really like Amel but that was funny

- They talk about Louis then

- Awwwn  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I love how everyone is talking about how much these idiots love each other

- But why is everyone so deadset on making Lestat and Louis stay together again, lmao? They remind me of those films where the mischiefing kids play matchmaker to make their estranged parents fall in love again

Chapter 11 - Fareed

- Aka the vampire scientist

- Again more science talk about the alien lady

- Can you believe that this of all things is giving me Hannigram feels?

- AU where Hannibal and Will survived the injuries of the Fall because they were secretly Indestructible Aliens

- Smooth, Fareed! And they’re spooning <3 They’re sweet, I like them as a couple.

Chapter 12 - Derek

- Since the beggining of the book Derek was captive of Rhosamandes and another vamp, but his clone just released him

- Derek is very sensitive but his clone is not. He’s also much more practical

- This is the worst idea I ever heard in my entire life

- This is so lame, you both SUCK

- Also… why are you calling each other father and son. Why. You’re clones, you should call each other ‘brother’ or something

- I still can’t believe that HE GREW A CLONE OUT OF HIS SEVERED ARM WTF

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 4 (Spoilers)

Read a bunch more chapters of Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis

Chapter 5 - Fareed’s POV

- Fareed is the vampire scientist that first appeared in Prince Lestat. I like him actually, but pretty boring chapter. More talk of the weird aliens, yawn. Still don’t care about them.

- I TOLD you lot that Lestat was basically screaming to all vampires in creation that he was going to visit his boyfriend

- ‘Lestat needed his old companion, Louis, all agreed’ lmao was he being all grumpy and shit and they wanted Louis to distract him or something?

Chapter 6 - Lestat’s POV

- “Did you just fucking interrupted my date night with Louis to tell me about a potentially deadly non human threat, Thorne? Do I look like I care? Fuck off”

- Armand just got dumped. AGAIN. And Louis didn’t even told him personally. Poor fellow

- 😍

- LIARRR

Chapter 7 - Garekyn’s POV

- Still boring

- Still don’t care about the aliens

- Armand, this guy just killed a vampire, crushed his skull AND ate his brain. Why the fuck did you leave just ONE vampire guarding this non human unknown being? You’re not this stupid, Armand, smh

- Poor Eleni

- At least she’s still alive

Chapter 8 - Lestat’s POV

- Oh god they’re actually talking about Atlantis, I was afraid of this moment

- Kinda boring chapter, reminds me of those long-ass Queen of the Damned chapters were they sitted on large groups and talked and talked and TALKED

- A wild Gabrielle appears 😍 I love my ice kitten vampire queen. And she’s already bored with everyone <3 I feel you, sister.

- Anne you JUST TOLD US that Gabrielle was sitting right THERE. Lestat is also her maker, so she can’t hear him either. JFC, read your own sentences

- Lestat you idiot, Amel did literally nothing while Akasha was killed and he actually ploted Maharet’s murder. Don’t trust him this blindly, you fool

- On a last note, Armand is kind of confrontational about the whole thing. A bit weird but I actually love it, because he was so weirdly passive and compliant in Prince Lestat, and Armand is always a little bitchy, so I prefer this version of him

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 3 (Spoilers)

I just read the fourth chapter of Prince Lestat and The Realms of Atlantis and wow

Ok I LOVE this chapter and the reason why is because Lestat and Louis are so unbelievable cute on it?? I haven’t see this level of cuteness between them in ages (since at least The Tale of the Body Thief) and honestly I’m Living for it

- Louis actually dressed up for Lestat, brushed his hair and put on cologne (!)

- Lestat noticed and was rendered speechless by this fact

- they already kissed and Anne Rice didn’t make me wait till the end of the book to see it!!

- Lestat always have a couple of vamps as bodyguards (I know, I know) following him around for his protection (aka Thorne and Cyril) and Louis didn’t know about it

geee. I don’t give a shit about Cyril, but I kinda feel bad for Thorne

- Lestat as always being a creep and loving to see Louis hunting

- Lestat gave Louis a long list of why he wanted him to come to Paris with him and basically said it was because Louis was always there in the pivotal moments of his life

- Louis said yes without any resistence and Lestat was speechless again

W O W, Louis. wow 

- anyway forget the aliens, the ghosts, fucking Amel and the 976868 new characters of this book, just give me twenty more chapters of Lestat and Louis doing literally anything and I’ll be much happier

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis Impressions - Pt. 2 (Spoilers)

Read a couple more chapters of Prince Lestat And The Realms Of Atlantis

The Lestat chapter was good, always so much better to read from the POV of an old character.

I still don’t get what is the deal with these ghosts, and why Anne thought it was a good idea to bring Magnus back to life. Also… why did I had to read a handful of pages with Lestat consoling Magnus for fucking him over when he turned him? Like… Lestat was the one who got fucked over?? Why is he consoling Magnus. Why

But in this chapter, I do confess that I loved that Amel was basically inside Lestat’s head yelling at him “go see Louis you need Louis you love Louis” until Lestat gave up and went to see Louis lmao

Armand, Benji - tell my beloved Louis I’m on my way.

I also appreciate so much the fact that Lestat was basically screaming telepatically to whatever vampire could hear him that he was going to New Orleans to pick up his boyfriend lmao

The Garekyn chapter… ew. Nothing against the guy (even if that last pages were gross, yikes my dude) but he’s boring and I was bored with him and that whole chapter
