Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Blood Canticle (Vampire Chronicles (Paperback))

Go check out the reviews for BLOOD CANTICLE. It is the new and "final" book of the Vampire Chronicles. There are a ton of hate reviews on the site, but the author, Anne OBrien Rice, actually replied. Anne's reply is dated Sept. 6, 2004. I have been an avid reader of the Vampire Chronicles, and only stopped recently about a quarter of the way thru BLACKWOOD FARM. After reading only one author for about six years of my life (I am excluding those books I read for school), I wanted something different. I wanted a new voice, new plot line. I think that I am ready to pickup BLACKWOOD again and am eagerly looking forward to BLOOD CANTICLE. I loved the stories of the Mayfair witches just as much as the Vampires, probably even more. And the Taltos intrigues me to no end. I also adored MEMNOCH THE DEVIL. I felt that it was one of the best books ever written and even showed it to my Philosophy professor. I have to disagree with the majority of the reviewers on Amazon. I have not read BLOOD CANTICLE, but from what I have read, some people cannot let go of their ideals. Anne even said that they could not let go of their limitations for the characters that they have built up. I believe in the transformation of a character, and that is what I am hoping to see yet again in this final installment.
