The fact that all the Vampire Chronicles exist in meta form within the Vampire Chronicles is actually so fucking genius and I think AR gave us a beautiful gift with which we will always be able to hand wave away any plot holes or characterizations that deviate from the norm.

Continuity error? The narrator remembers the events differently.

OOC behavior? The narrator is too dense to properly interpret someone’s feelings.

The sudden inclusion of a phrase she really likes all over the book from various people’s mouths? (ie: Lord God!) It’s not ANNE saying these words, it’s the characters picking up each other’s mannerisms.

It’s created a rich breeding ground for all types of discourse and headcanons, and we never have to be truly heartbroken by critique cause there’s always the possibility that Lestat is just being a jackass and doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about.
