content: It wasn't "horrible" but it was certainly not her best. The style doesn't seem at all similar to her usual stuff. I found it very disjointed and had a hard time following the story line. I think the reviews would be worse had it not been a chronicle book.I would probably read it, even with the fact I know it isn't a great book, to keep the story together. Lestat did not seem like Lestat. I read Blackwood farm a few days earlier and it was much better than Blood canticle.
