Ahhh, @elevenism that is such a shame. I've been really been looking forward to reading the whole series again from the start, now that Anne Rice is seemingly re-energised, insofar as her motivation for continuing the series is concerned. That's a real pity.

I haven't been following news on her plans for future novels, but I wonder if any negative feedback on this one might dissuade her from carrying on with the series?

A quick question for you all; would you like to see her dedicate her efforts to working on future instalments, or instead concentrate on the next film adaptation, now that the rights to the series have reverted to her?
