Story
We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. . . He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws listeners into 18th-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols - and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

Publisher's summary
In the latest installment of The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice summons up dazzling worlds to bring us the story of Armand—eternally young, with the face of a Botticelli angel. Armand, who first appeared in all his dark glory more than twenty years ago in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire, the first of The Vampire Chronicles, the novel that established its author worldwide as a magnificent storyteller and creator of magical realms.
Now, we go with Armand across the centuries to the Kiev Rus of his boyhood - a ruined city under Mongol dominion—and to ancient Constantinople, where Tartar raiders sell him into slavery. And in a magnificent palazzo in the Venice of the Renaissance we see him emotionally and intellectually in thrall to the great vampire Marius, who masquerades among humankind as a mysterious, reclusive painter and who will bestow upon Armand the gift of vampiric blood.
As the novel races to its climax, moving through scenes of luxury and elegance, of ambush, fire, and devil worship to nineteenth-century Paris and today's New Orleans, we see its eternally vulnerable and romantic hero forced to choose between his twilight immortality and the salvation of his immortal soul.
Critic reviews
"ARMAND'S LIFE UNFOLDS IN RICH, VELVETY PROSE. . . . THIS IS A SUMPTUOUS ADDITION TO THE SERIES."--Library Journal
"ANNE RICE FANS WILL NO DOUBT BE THRILLED. . . . [Armand] until now has played a small role in the Vampire Chronicles. Here he assumes center stage, relating his five hundred years of life to fledgling vampire David Talbot, who plays amanuensis to Armand as he did to Lestat. . . . It's not just the epic plot but Rice's voluptuary worldview that's the main attraction. . . . Elegant narrative has always been her hallmark. . . . Rice is equally effective in showing how Armand eventually loses his religion and becomes 'the vagabond angel child of Satan,' living under the Paris cemeteries and founding the Grand Guignol-ish Theatre des Vampires. In the twentieth century, a rehabilitated Armand regains his faith but falls in love with two children who save his life. By the conclusion of Armand, the pupil has become the mentor."--The Washington Post
"A FASCINATING AND DAZZLING HISTORICAL TAPESTRY . . . BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, INCREDIBLY ABSORBING."--Booklist

Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her 17th birthday, she abandons everything she's ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan?

Seyonne is a man waiting to die.

Seyonne has made peace with his fate. With strict self-discipline he forces himself to exist only in the present moment and to avoid the pain of hope or caring about anyone.

Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols - and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

I love anything Anne Rice and was excited to start my collection of her books but this narrator does a terrible job. His voice is so bland and emotionless. It made it difficult to continue listening. It was almost a chore to finish this book.

Wooden Narration
Years ago I read all the Vampire Chronicle books so knew this one to be my least favorite going into the audio versions. That's not to say the story isn't good, but it does tend to get tedious at times. However, the narration made me just want this one to be over as quickly as possible. It was such a wooden "performance" that listening was a chore. I don't believe this narrator makes an appearance in any of the following books in the series for which I am very grateful.

Pages and pages and pages of...nothing
It's perplexing to me how it's possible to write this many pages and fill them no substance. This comes from an AVID lover of the first three books in the series but anything afterwards is barely readable, for this one I had to switch to audiobook after about 1/4 of the physical book because it was a torture to read and I just wanted to get through it.
I expected a lot from the life of Armand, because there were so much different settings he lived through. Well, first half of the book was him being Marius' gay lover and literally doing nothing and everything else was quickly brushed over.
I wish she stopped with the series after she became a born again christian, because the way she tries to undermine the previous atheist philosophy of her vampires by trying to be religiously profound and grandiose, but also making it about sex somehow is just.....yeah, nonsensical and distasteful even.
In general, her increasing obsession with her own characters, with sex, with religion, with homosexual relationships(that is also at the same time verging on child/caretaker relationship), with endless visual descriptions makes her books lack any serious story and irritating to read. You can skip a couple of pages and you miss nothing, which is one of the greatest sins of writing.
As for the reader, I think it was made clear already that, first of all, his voice is just too manly for a youth like Armand and it was a bit cringy when childlike Armand pleaded with his master, but we had to hear it in a middle aged man's voice. The way he'd sometimes start to elongate the ending of every single word was a bit annoying to me, but we have to give him some slack because he was probably as annoyed with reading this book as we are with listening to it. if it was any other book he would probably be pretty good.

Good story, ok performance.
The story was good it fills in a lot of information that some of the other books leave out, creating a fuller picture of the whole chronicle. My biggest issue is the reader mispronounced several words throughout.

Typical AR
Not her best in the vampire chronicle. Often drawn out for no appearing reason. The beginning 60% is overly sexual in a way the Lestat novels are not.

Favorite book with the worst narrator
This is probably my favorite Anne Rice book, if not The Vampire Lestat, yet the narrator was very much lacking. His narration was extremely dry and monotone, making one of my favorite books a struggle to finish.
