This was given to me as a gift when it first came out. I liked it. That whole Taltos thing was a bit Lovecraftian in the way Anne told this. A big Rice fan liked my novel, "Other Nations", and said that if Anne had written my novel, it would have been 6 books and not 6 chapters :) Ok. Now that I've read more Anne, maybe my novel would have been 10 books in her hands :) At least I can see what this fan meant. I didn't quite see that when I only read the Mayfair/Taltos stories. I see it with the Vampire stuff, definitely. Anne is also telling it from the other side, not the human side. I did the same in my novel - from the non-human side, not the same old "good versus evil" stuff.I like sci fi, and TV shows about Vampires are, for me, sci fi of a sort. Very recently, another Rice fan said "read Blood and Gold" and so, I tried it and LOVED LOVED LOVED it. After I read it, I checked the reviews. Negative reviews said that B and G was like rereading the first 3 books of the vampire series. Well, that was good for me. I didn't read the first 3 books! (heh, not YET...)Next, I tried the Vampire Armand - and well, I thought it sucked - no other way to put it. Starts out with pages upon pages of gay light-porn and then hops skips jumps into something a bit more interesting, but not very well told by Armand. Perhaps that's because Armand is quite frankly nuts. And no, it's not that I didn't know what was going on - Armand is nuts; he is a bundle of mixed up confusion with all that ugliness in his childhood, "fool for God," monkish lunacy. It's very easy for me to pick up what's going on, even reading these books out of order. Glad I didn't read Armand first. SO glad I did not read that one first. And oh, phphph the Appassionata. The Pathetique is much nicer a piece! (Beethoven).Pandora is the book I just finished. LOVED it, absolutely LOVED it, LOVED the whole detailed story about her life as a Roman girl - ALL of it. And the same sense of absolute tragedy, grief, hit me about the lost letter, the letter Marius only found hundreds of years later. Oh GOD that was so so sad, two times around, just as sad.I gave this a 4 for one reason. It's WAY too short. WHAT HAPPENS after Pandora realizes Marius is gone? I know about Dresden because I first read Blood and Gold, but Pandora is over 2000 years old! Her "wasted days" as she puts it to David without elaborating, are days that readers would definitely want to know about. How about TELLING US?How did she meet the fierce Asian vampire Arjun (I know his name is Arjun because I read it in Blood and Gold). Pandora didn't name him in her own narrative.This novel should have been FIVE TIMES larger than it was. At least!My next book, I got it from the library (I'm not a rich person...) is "The Vampire Lestat." "Interview" was out. I'll either end up reading Interview next, or Merrick - though I'd like to know the details about Claudia before reading Merrick. I know of Claudia from the movie and from what the novels I read have said.It's REALLY too bad Anne is no longer writing this. If this were the Lovecraftian genre, someone ELSE would be able to pick up the story of Pandora - and perhaps even get REALLY far out with what happened to the twins in SEVEN THOUSAND YEARS time - and there'd be no copyright problems with it, since it's allowed in that genre! The tale would start off at the point the twins are separated, a short paraphrase of their known history as per the canon. A Pandora book starting where Marius and Pandora are separated. They'd both end at the point where Anne wrote of them meeting up with others again.Perhaps Anne would allow someone else to tell the rest of Pandora's story? And/or tell us the story of the twins? They'd only have to write stuff that nobody else ever read about anywhere else - and not have it collide with what's already known.I want to say something to critics that go on about Anne contradictioning herself. NO, ANNE is not doing that. Louis might contradict Lestat. Marius contradicts Pandora - Pandora addresses that! Armand might think Marius was the love of his life (so some fans thought that was "The Story"), but that is NOT what Marius feels or thinks. Marius says Pandora was THE love of his life. Critics went on about "why Anne changed it." Changed what? I don't think Anne is forgetting what "she said" elsewhere or backpeddling, or changing her mind about what she wrote. These are supposed to be books written by Lestat, Louis, Pandora, Marius, etc. The techique is called "unreliable narrator." These characters all have different voices - their narratives, so far, read to me as if different people wrote them (yet I know Anne wrote these books). Therefore, my not liking Armand's story is not a statement about Anne. It's a statement about Armand. When you read Pandora, you are not supposed to think "Anne said this, Anne said that, Anne is saying this now." No. PANDORA is speaking.Anyway, I surely hope The Vampire Lestat is more like Pandora and Blood and Gold than like the Armand book. OH PLEASE!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lesson in history *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023* I just finished The Witching Hour and loved Interview and Lestat, so I chose this. I found it interesting and educational, but not very exciting. It lead to some interesting looks at maps and some discussions with my genius husband. I did not feel, though, that it was a "page turner". That being said...on to the next one! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it! *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023* This is a great read with characters deep and defined. You want to read more and more. The excitement for the next chapter always remains as you are diving deep into this wonderful read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8751019-pandora](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8751019-pandora) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
