Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles
Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis: The Vampire Chronicles | Anne Rice
From Anne Rice, conjurer of the beloved best sellers "Interview with the Vampire" and "Prince Lestat," an ambitious and exhilarating new novel of utopian vision and power, uniting the ancient worlds and the legends of the Vampire Chronicles. "In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken . . ."--Anne Rice, "Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis" At the novel's center: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, inspirer, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has somehow taken possession of Lestat's undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history, and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe. It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent--and of how and why, and in what manner and with what far-reaching purpose, this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean. And as we learn of the mighty, far-reaching powers and perfections of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit."

I keep up with all the Vampire Chronicles, but this one was hard to get through. So much of the book was devoted to these alien creatures that inhabited Atlantis with background on Amel. I feel odd saying this but there‘s way too much mushy love going on among the vampires. I‘m all for love but she says it so much that it belittles it to me. In any case, I got my copy at THE Garden District Book Shop in New Orleans, and Anne Rice signed it 🤩

My haul from the Garden District Bookshop in New Orleans. I got to see the houses Anne Rice lived in, the Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 where some of Interview with the Vampire was filmed, and you‘re seeing correctly that I bought a signed first edition of Anne Rice‘s latest addition to the Vampire Chronicles 🤩

This book was the last straw. When I realized she straight up killed Quin and Mona "offscreen," I just immediately bailed. Outside Lestat, Quin was my favorite vampire. I mean, I was a little worried when she brought in honest to god aliens, but I was willing to soldier through. Not anymore. I am DONE. I consider Blood Canticle the end in my own head canon.

I have been reading the vampire series since I discovered the series in the 80's. I just can't see the purpose in the direction of this story, no spoilers. I'll leave it to say I missed the version of Lestat that I grew up with. I feel the character was just off in many ways. How was the book for anyone else who read it?

I am an unabashed Anne Rice fan, and I actually fully enjoyed Prince Lestat but, I'm at the third chapter and I swear to god if we're adding aliens into this I'm going to be exhausted trying to keep up with all this supernatural shit.

I have always enjoyed Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, but I was nervous about this book. It sounded a bit more out there, and I was afraid it would ruin some of the mythos for me.

I was delighted to find that although it did add completely new elements to the story, it did so in a way that captivated me. If you have ever wondered about the origin of the powerful spirit Amel, the "core" of the vampire species, here's your chance for answers.

In a series where the main ongoing protagonists are immortal vampires, that element is one of the least fanciful parts of this story. This tale includes genetically engineered humans, aliens, highly advanced ancient civilizations, and a plunge into Theosophical metaphysical writings. If you are a fan of the Vampire Chronicles, as I am, you will still enjoy some parts. For everyone else, there are better volumes to spend your time with.

Another adventure in the never ending saga of our beloved Brat Prince, Lestat de Lioncourt, with an interesting spin on the origins of the blood thirsty spirit Amel.

I have loved all of the Rice books in the Vampire Chronicles until this one. I feel it sadly just kept getting in it's own way.

I wanted to love this, but it was just so-so for me. There is no doubt that Anne Rice is a stellar writer and I have loved most of what she has written. This one fell a bit flat because I feel like the sci-fi slant took away the magic that is the Vampire Chronicles. I feel like it should have been a different book with no vampires. Still glad I read it and I still love Anne Rice ❤

AmandaL I loved Rice years ago, but all of the more recent books I have read from her I feel ambivalent about. 7y

I had started reading this book before I ended up in the hospital in December. I just couldn't pick it back up when I got home because I felt awful. It has called to me now though and I've re-read a chunk to bring me up to speed - I'm looking forward to finishing this at long last

Beckys_Books I'm so sorry you were in the hospital. Hope you are feeling better. 7y

Though not as good as the early books in The Vampire Chronicles, it was a lot better than I expected. Felt it dragged a bit to start but once it picked up, I was gripped and back into the Savage Garden I went 😄

Well, look at what the cat brought in to the library today. Plucked this beauty off the "New Books" shelf for a quick browse. This'll be a great addition to our signed "Prince Lestat" copy, right @BookBabe ??????! Any #AnneRice fans in the #LitsyHouse? #TBRtemptation #LitsyLovesLibraries #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Laura317 I liked her vampire books. The movies, not so much. I'll be interested in your take of this book. I've seen mixed reviews. 7y
Joybishoptx Huge fan. My favorite is the Mayfair Witches. But I cut my horror teeth on Lestat. Excited to read this one. 7y
BookDame I'll be reading it soon, if my secret Santa saw my wishlist. Did you know they are working on a Vampire Chronicles tv show? I hope they do it right! 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess My first "adult" book was "Interview with the Vampire when I was nine. My local librarian wouldn't let me check it out. My dad had to come to the library with me and told the librarian that I could check out anything that I wanted and was capable of reading any book! 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @UwannaPublishme it's been 12 long years since I've been to Cali, and La Jolla. I was staying in Mission Beach and took a bus to La Jolla. It was a day all to myself and I loved it. Cali is in my blood. But so is NY. Somehow I ended up in a beach town in Jersey-go figure. One day, I shall return! Enjoy your sunshine!! 7y

UwannaPublishme @JanuarieTimewalker13 Small world! I'm originally from Jersey and always loved going to NYC. I miss Broadway and all the cool events. But after going to college in Milwaukee, I was ready to trade in my parka for sunshine. I have a feeling you'll be back this way again. 🌞🏄‍♀️👍🏻 7y

Just finshed the book, I don't think the lore needed to be changed/ added to the way it was. Lestat himself did not seem to have a very active roll during the story until the very end. I can only hope that any future story lines move very far away from this thread.

I enjoyed this but I'm also obsessed with Lestat. As a standalone book it doesn't work. You need to be invested in Lestat's complete story to enjoy.
