Another fantastic addition to the Vampire Chronicles, I've read this one three times now. No one I've ever read can equal Anne Rice for laying bare the multitude of character facets, good and bad, that make up an individual, human or immortal. Merrick comes across as a warm, charismatic, soulful young woman who has been damaged by her past and although she still struggles to come to terms with her own demons often hiding from them in a bottle of Bourbon, she has generally managed to turn these negatives into a deep concern and empathy for the suffering of others especially, in this case Louis who is still tortured by the death of Claudia. From her complicated relationship and history with David, to the healthy respect with which Lestat views her, Merrick stands very much at the centre of this story and we feel genuinely that Louis' survival is very much in the collective hands of his great friend and adversary, Lestat, wise David and the the hypnotic and compelling Merrick. The ending is almost inevitable but nonetheless satisfying. Merrick is a character that I very much hope we continue to meet in future chronicles.
