Sinossi
Nell'ultima oscurità che precede l'alba, una ragazza, appoggiata al parapetto di un ponte sulla Senna, guarda cupamente il fiume. Una figura incappucciata le si avvicina, l'avvolge nel mantello e, fulminea, le azzanna il collo per succhiarle il sangue e appagare così, anche per un solo giorno, l'insaziabile sete. Pandora ha ucciso ancora, ma qualcuno ha visto tutto, qualcuno che condivide con lei un'esistenza regolata da un'unica legge: uccidere per vivere. Costui è David Talbot, che, arso dalla curiosità di conoscere la vita di Pandora, splendida Figlia dei Millenni, la convince a scrivere la sua storia. Una storia d'amore e di orrore cominciata duemila anni prima...

Let me start off by saying, I love the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice (I'm reading them in the order they were published).

• Oct. 22, 2006: This is really an outstanding story overall. There were very few things that took away from it, and even those didn’t bother me that much. Yeah, Pandora is another rich vampire from an aristocratic family. Yeah, Anne Rice said differently when she first mentioned Pandora. Again, tha Leggi tutto
Si esperas encontrarte con una nueva historia de Vampiros, lamento decepcionarte, sin ser malo el libro, sí resulta algo lento e insatisfactorio. Comienza muy bien, no lo puedo negar, pero la narración de la vida mortal de Pandora se va dilatando durante mucho tiempo a lo largo del libro, de forma q Leggi tutto
"Look, the stars have all but faded. What is it like to be one of them? To be admired only in the darkness, when men and women live with candles and lamps. To be known and described, only in the heaviness of the night, when all the business of the day has ended!"
This was a discarded library book and I picked it up because the price was right and I thoroughly enjoyed the vampire trilogy that started with Interview and ended with Queen of the Damned. Pandora's story was mildly interesting at points but mostly irritating. I don't love Rice's style of writing an Leggi tutto

She is ten years old when she first meets the then-mortal Marius, an encounter that will irreversibly alt Leggi tutto
