Save:Educated in the Florence of Cosimo de' Medici, trained in knighthood at his father's mountaintop castle, Vittorio inhabits a world of courtly splendor and country pleasures a world suddenly threatened when his entire family is confronted by an unholy power. In the midst of this upheaval, Vittorio is seduced by the vampire Ursula, the most beautiful of his supernatural enemies. As he sets out in pursuit of vengenace, entering the nightmarish Court of the Ruby Grail, increasingly more enchanted and confused by his love for the mysterious Ursula, he finds himself facing demonic adversaries, war and political intrigue. Against a backdrop of the wonders both sacred and profane and the beauty and ferocity of Renaissance Italy, Anne Rice creates a passionate and tragic legend of doomed young love and lost innocence.
Plot A weak and very constructed plot with occasionally gaping holes. Most of the story simply isn't believable, in particular the relationship of Ursula and Vittorio that is expected to carry most of the plot. The book feels very unfinished and does not reach a true ending. Characters A completely new cast of vampires, but none of them are interesting in any way. Characterization is skipped over whenever it doesn't concern religious or sexual issues, and even there it is done crudely. No love was involved when these characters were created. Style The plot is too weak to carry the story, and the descriptions weigh it down further. The setting in Renaissance Italy could have been so much more interesting than it is if it had been fleshed out a little more. The religious aspect is not as heavily enforced as in later books, but it is enough to suffocate the writing. Plus Occasional nice writing. No re telling of past books. Minus The book fails to generate any interest whatsoever. Turning the last page is done with a faint feeling of relief that the boredom is finally over. Summary It's not really part of the Vampire Chronicles, and needs to be read only for completion's sake.
