Have you read Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis? If so, can I skip Kapetria’s Tale and still understand the rest of the book? Her story is SO boring and its been holding me back from finishing the book for weeks.

FUNNILY ENOUGH!!1!

… i, too, am unable to finish PLROA for MONTHS bc of Kapetria’s Tale! FOR THE SAME REASONS. I mean maybe it’s not boring to some ppl? But for me, I’m just… I was weirded out before by the Replimoids and getting to her tale I just didn’t want to buy more of what was being sold. 

So I have been really struggling to pick it up again EVEN THO IT IS RIGHT ON MY DESK IN PLAIN VIEW, mocking me every day that I don’t just CRACK IT OPEN AND TAKE MY MEDICINE like I should if I really cared about this series (which I clearly do).

I went and asked around & skimmed ahead bc I very much like to be spoiled, and I won’t spoil you here, but from what I skimmed and from what I’ve been told, I don’t think you need to know Kapetria’s Tale to understand the rest of the book. It goes back to our vampires and their shenanigans and SCIENCE, and in the old days we might have called this all very “cracky” stuff, but the ending might even have been written before the Atlantis portion was added in, it seems to depend so little on it, but again, that’s from my spoilage. 

…But currently? What are ppl’s thoughts on how PLROA ends? I would like ppl to speak freely, so there may be spoilers in comments/reblogs. 

Message me privately, if you prefer, and I’ll add it to this post under a cut if it’s spoilery.

^This was my face when I got to that part in PLROA w/ the um… (how do I say this w/o spoiling y’all)… THAT SCENE. Derek. Derek’s hand. I think you know which scene. Idk holding my left eyebrow was helping me anchor myself to reality.

Reflecting on it now, I think I was sorta going for this:

This evening I wrote a 1,800 word review of ’Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis’ that quotes Rousseau, which was some distraction from the headachey fatigue at the tail end of this damned virus.

I am pleased you’re distracting yourself and feeling somewhat better – long may it continue – and very pleased you’ve posted your review here, because I wanted to share it with @i-want-my-iwtv and this makes it easier. It’s a very well-written review!

Oh cool! Thanks @katzenfabrik. I enjoyed @bluestockingcouture’s review, even tho I haven’t finished reading PLROA myself (I love being spoiled tho, so no worries there). 

Yes, ppl, send me links to your PLROA reviews, I want to make a masterpost.

I’m not sure if this is as debatable of a topic as she claims it is, but I thought this was interesting for those who have read, or are reading, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis. @i-want-my-iwtv

I don’t really need to cut this or do a spoiler alert, since AR is now telling us this isn’t the definitive answer for what Memnoch is, but I’ll do a cut just in case.

From PLROA, Lestat’s POV:

^I didn’t know this was even a debate, but Magnus says this pretty definitively, he even claims to have escaped Memnoch’s realm. So… should be interesting to see what AR does with Memnoch. I almost feel like she’s hanging onto him to spite everyone who gave Memnoch the Devil bad reviews way back when, but for whatever reason, I think she may be setting him up as a major player in the next book: (Is this Kapetria narrating? I think so…)

Kapetria from the book Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis by Anne Rice. I love Anne Rice’s books, she is my favorite author. I love how she depicts the dark worlds (vampires, werewolves, witches) without cliches and without cheesy characters and with dark charm and misery, and finding happiness in the misery. I can go on forever. 
Although I haven’t finished the book yet but its characters are so interesting in every way I cannot resist to visualize them. So here she is, Kapetria.

Also, please be respectful of my blog, I would prefer if ppl do not reblog/comment on this with links to it or offers to share it. I’m sure it will be free online eventually… I just don’t want to get looped into legal trouble for sharing that kind of information, so I’ll delete the post if I see anything like that happening 😛
