Narration Toward Books Taltos (Lives of the Mayfair Witches #3)
this character "Ashlar" just up and jizzes all over the faces of the preceding novels in the series, except that it is not hot, not hot at all. The Witching Hour was a fascinatingly cracked historical-family saga and Lasher, although a much lesser work, was a disturbingly oedipal psychodrama. Taltos is like a big bucket of spooge, just silly and disgusting and entirely unappealing to even contemplate. ugh, thanks a lot Rice for ruining a perfectly good series! almost as criminal is the increasingly revolting elevation of the character Mona, surely one of the most unlikeable, creepy (and not in a good way) characters that Rice has ever created. please no more pedophilia disguised as romance..."empowered" juvenile characters like Mona need to vanish from literature without a trace, post-haste. my gosh, surely that is not too much to ask?

Every time I read an Anne Rice novel I come away from it feeling as though for a while I were peeking into another world, a world I would very much so like to exist in. Knowing my luck even if I did exist in this world she's created I'd never happen upon one of these amazing creatures, and so I'd still never be the wiser or I'd become a part of a short tragic scene. Taltos is another example of Anne's amazing skill as a writer, and master story teller. Her words are the paintbrush while yourIts a shame this book follows after The Witching Hour and Lasher, arguably two of the best (and scariest) novels in Anne Rices catalogue. This book is a mess.Im not even going to review this shit.
Wow, I really loved this series. I did not want it to end. It's one of those stories that you get so wrapped up in you feel like it's really happening somewhere and you forget that it's only fiction. The reason I gave this book only 4 stars is because I wanted a little more closure at the end. She did end it well and mostly happy, but I feel like she could now write an entirely new series on what inevitably happens after the last sentence. I know that all stories have to end. And it's probably
Reminded me of the "Watchers" from Buffy..
Tim Curry narrates, so... time for a re-read! :D
I read this series first so long ago I can't remember but the one thing I do know is that the story has stuck with me for at least 20 years. I've re-read it once or twice since then and I still enjoy it.I'm surprised at all the negative reviews here. Some people cite how "biologically and medically impossible" this story was as a reason to dislike it. HELLO!! It wasn't written to be anything other than supernatural. People's uppity attitudes kill me sometimes. Save it for the Science Journal!
Bad to the point of being unreadable. I finally gave up reading and skimmed the rest. I rate this a 0, but Goodreads doesn't have a zero. Each book in this series declines as Rice uses badly theorized pseudo-science to explain away witchcraft and demons. I (and lots of other readers, having read some reviews) would have just preferred less outrageously bad scientific rationale. Evil can be magic and spirits. That's okay. And Mona's character just becomes ludicrous and unbelievable. Also, YUCK.
