“Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!”
The Queen of the Damned is a more detailed account of the first vampires and their creation. This book immerses the reader into the myths and legends of the ancient Egypt.
In this book, unlike the previous ones in this series, there are several narrators all with very interesting POVs who each tell their own part of the story until the plot lines converge. Varied POVs help with the flow of the story and setting the pace. It is enjoyable to get such a well-rounded view of events. Multiple POVs also help to know some of the characters (new and old) better and show more varied look of the from different perspectives.
All the relationships are so complex too. It is interesting to see the connections and relationships all the vampires share.
However, some of the vampires, especially the younger ones, felt underutilized. The ending, also, happens quite abruptly.
