The Queen of the Damned is the 3rd in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series. Having read both 'Interview with the Vampire' and 'The Vampire Lestat', i was looking forward to reading this book. Overall, I enjoyed the Queen of the Damned, and anyone who has read the previous two books probably will as well, but found it was a little disappointing and underwhelming. It was still very enjoyable however, but think I preferred listening to the stories of Louis and Lestat in 'Interview' and 'Lestat' more personally. Mild Spoiler warning! - I'll talk vaguely about what happens in the book from here until the last paragraph, but not reveal directly what happens, so please skip to the last paragraph if you don't want to know anything. This book follows immediately on from 'Lestat', where Lestat has awakened the 6,000 year old mother of all vampires, Akasha (the titular Queen of the Damned), with his rock music and she is coming to destroy them all. The book actually starts with 7 separate narratives told by different characters, revealing their experiences in the nights leading up to where 'Lestat' left off, which was initially annoying as I wanted to read about what happened to Lestat, but was actually quite interesting as it set the scene and introduced me to the various mysteries surrounding the vampire community and other important characters. Then the narrative rejoins Lestat and other important characters (both from previous books and the first part of this book) to show what happens after Akasha has been reawakened. Overall, the book was really good and interesting, and although it lacks the centuries spanning tales that I think made 'Interview' and 'Lestat' so gripping as it is all set in the modern day, it does contain a long sojourn where a character reveals what happened 6,000 years ago which was interesting. From the blurb on this book and the impression I had after 'Lestat', I was expecting there to be a lot more action and drama in this book, particularly at its conclusion. While there were action scenes spread throughout the book, it was not as action-orientated as I was expecting, and the final confrontation with Akasha largely began with the main characters all sat around table talking and debating. Maybe this is just Anne Rice's style however, as to be fair I don't remember huge action scenes (although there are some) in the previous two books. Mild spoiler warning over! Overall, I enjoyed the Queen of the Damned, and it was an enjoyable book in this series. However, I personally enjoyed 'Interview' and 'Lestat' more, as I think I preferred following the tales of Louis and Lestat from their beginnings over the centuries, as I think I found that more intriguing. It's still a good book though, and anyone who has read the previous two books will enjoy this as well.

Ishmael Beah, a young boy who lives in Sierra Leone was enjoying life with his family and friends until he had his life turned upside down by war. Rebels invaded his town and killed everyone they saw causing him to flee. He was separated from his family and friends. He roamed for days and went through destroyed villages, seeing all of the dead people gruesomely murdered. After awhile he gets picked up by the army. Where he learned to kill mercilessly and use drugs to numb him from everything around him. For years he killed rebels in the army; he killed hundreds of people. All of this became normal to him; every day of killing was a normal day, until one day UNICEF picks him up. Ishmael goes through rehab and has a difficult time to becoming normal again. He learns to make friends and socialize. He spends a lot of time in rehab, until he is finally reunited with a family member. Until his world was once again turned upside down. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was beautifully written. It is a true story and it keeps you on your toes every page turned. This book is full of action and is filled with many different emotions. The only reason I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 was the ending. I won’t give away the ending, but it was not up to expectations. I would definitely recommend this book if you can stomach the gore and gruesomeness of this book. If you need to pick up a book, this is the one.
