I started reading the Vampire Chronicles and I’m at The Queen of the Damned but I’m wondering if I should stop there? Or should I read on? I don’t to want get caught up with the ‘crackyness’ later on, you know?

You started with The Queen of the Damned, or with Interview with the Vampire? Definitely read the first 3 books in the series, those are are good. 

The “crackyness” that we make fun of it for sort of happens at book 4, Tale of the Body Thief, which is still a great story (especially compared to the later books)…

I think you should read it all. Especially if there are certain characters you’re beginning to feel more of an attachment to. If you love Armand, for example, you should read The Vampire Armand. If you love Marius, reading Blood & Gold would be of interest to you. 

I think any VC fan should read them all, read lots of fanfic, and decide on their own what they consider to be “the real story.” Your headcanon may vary from mine, but that doesn’t make you a lesser/greater fan. You can ignore the crackyness.

Loving the characters makes you a fan *u*

I’ve seen so much about the book on my dash! I’m so desperate to know; is it as good as the others? I’m so afraid of a “flop” novel. I don’t believe Anne Rice has ever written a “flop”, but it has been eleven years since Blood Canticle. Do you think it’s good so far?

I will answer this later… I haven’t had much chance to read it other than to read the spoilers I’ve seen around here (and from friends who I asked for spoilage from!) 

From what I know so far, it is one of the crackiest books in the Vampire Crackicles ;A;

OKAY I can’t take this, I’m going off the grid. Probably to a coffee shop to read this miserable torture device heartbreaking work of staggering genius.

I’m going to the booksigning tonight, so if you have any questions for me to ask AR, message them to me, I have tumblr on mobile so I’ll check for those. 

Leave me your opinions/impressions/questions as you read Prince Lestat, I will publish some! Under cuts, if they’re spoilers ;]
