// i kind of hate Rose? I mean not as much as i hate this entire book
//There isn’t much likable about Rose. She comes out of nowhere, is loved for no reason, contributes nothing to the book at all.
//Yes i didnt know how to put that feeling into actual words you nailed it ouo
And she’s a self-sert for AR.
It was so hard to read her section. I kept telling myself, “I’m only reading this book ONCE, so I cannot skim EVEN THIS, surely there is some little tiny scrap of good to be sifted for in the story of Rose?”
NO THERE WAS NOT. And did anyone else notice that her “boyfriend“‘s name is GARDNER? ONE WHO GARDENS ROSES?! Brilliant name-choosing there, AR.
ooc; Okay, but the part where Louis was like “don’t worry baby we’re going to sue” and then suddenly there was fire everywhere
//I did not notice the Gardener thing. I was too busy trying to figure out if I was supposed to know Rose from one of the other books or one of the Mayfair books or something (I never finished those). I love that Louis + Fire is basically the best pairing in PL, but otherwise, what was even the point of her? Viktor’s purpose was to be the bait to lure Lestat places, but Rose literally served no purpose at all.
Also I don’t buy that Louis would be okay with “adopting” a kid? Like I get saving her ass and financially supporting her, I guess. But not playing Uncle Lestan and forcing Louis to play Uncle Lestan’s “friend.”
The entire Viktor and Rose thing could have been left out with absolutely no impact on the book. I have many problems with this book, but those two? Yawn.
ooc; Don’t worry, I’m sure in the next book vampire!scientist will discover how to make female vampires get pregnant and then Rose & Viktor will have Lestat’s granddaughter and her name will be Petunia
//Well, obviously. How else will they restart The Great Family? Excuse me, I need to launch myself into the sun now.
ooc; After six generations, they produce an heir that Lestat makes a vampire, and that heir’s name is Sweet Potato Vine de Lioncourt
