ʻO kēia hebedoma ka hoʻi lanakila ʻana o Lestat de Lioncourt a me kāna mau hoa mau loa ma ke alanui ʻo Diabolo ʻoiai ka mea hou loa o The Vampire Chronicles i kū i nā papa. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu kope o ʻO Prince Lestat: ʻO ka Vampire Chronicles na, Anne Rice, ke loaʻa iaʻu kahi manawa e hoʻoiho ai a noho i lalo e ʻai nui ia. ʻO ka mea liʻiliʻi, ʻo ia ka mea aʻu i manaʻo ai e hana ana. ʻOiai wau e manaʻo e ʻai maikaʻi i kēia puke, ʻaʻohe oʻu manaʻo e lilo ana kahi papa ʻaina 7 me nā mea inu ma hope. E hana ana wau i ka mea hiki e hiki ke kākau i kahi loiloi manuahi nā loiloi ma aneʻi, no laila e hoʻomanawanui iaʻu, no ka mea ʻo kaʻu makemake maoli e hana e haʻi iā ʻoe i nā mea āpau

ʻO Prince Lestat hiki i nā mea he nui. He puke wale nō paha ia e pili ana i ka hanana hou loa a Lestat. He puke paha ia e hōʻike ana i nā mea e hana nei i ka honua o nā vampires a Anne Rice mai ka wā i hālāwai ai ʻo Lestat me Memnoch the Devil a me nā denizens o Blackwood Farm. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻolauna i nā vampires o kēia ao a mākou i ʻike ʻole ai ma mua akā ua ʻike mau ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka moʻolelo. He puke noke paha ia i lawe mai i ka home i ke kumu o kēlā pesky Talamasca a pehea lākou e komo pono ai i ka honua kupua o ka hana a Rice.

ʻO ia paha kekahi o kēia mau mea ... a ma kahi, ʻo KĀLĀ o kēia mau mea āpau! A ʻoiai e heluhelu ana nā mea aloha o ka pūʻulu i kēlā ʻōlelo hope loa a lele i ka hauʻoli, aia kekahi mau poʻe ma waho e noho nei i loko o ko lākou mau noho a ʻōlelo iā lākou iho, "Akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu he aha kēlā mau mea āpau ... ”

 

I kēia manawa, ua hana ʻo Rice i ka maikaʻi e hoʻomākaukau iā ʻoe no ka mea āu e hālāwai ai i loko o ka puke inā ʻo kēia ka manawa mua āu e kiʻi ai i kahi Vampire Chronicle. ʻO nā ʻāpana mua ʻelua o ka puke, ʻo "Genesis Genesis" a me "Blood Argot", hāʻawi i kahi nānā nui loa o ka mōʻaukala o nā vampires a me kahi lexicon pōkole o nā huaʻōlelo āu e ʻike ai i loko o ka puke. Eia nō naʻe, i ka hope o ka puke, ʻike ʻoe i kahi hoʻopili me nā synopses pōkole o kēlā me kēia puke i ka Vampire Chronicles no laila e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manaʻo maʻamau i ka pili o nā mea i kekahi a me ke kaʻina maʻamau o nā hanana i i hana ʻia ma mua o ka moʻolelo o kēia wā. Loaʻa iā ia kahi papa inoa ʻano no ka mea uninitiated, a i ka moʻolelo maoli, hana ʻo ia i ka mea maikaʻi e hoʻopiha i nā hakahaka e like me ka hiki iā ia, ʻoiai e hele mai ana kēia me kekahi mau pilikia e holo ana.

Eia nō naʻe, me kēia mau ʻāpana, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu ʻo ka mea heluhelu manawa mua a i ʻole kekahi mea i ʻike wale i nā kiʻi ʻelua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia (keu hoʻi inā ʻike lākou i ka travesty i Moiwahine o ka ʻino) e mākaukau maoli no ka laulā o kēia puke. I kēlā poʻe heluhelu, e ʻōlelo wau e hoʻomau i ka kaomi ʻana, a inā he nui loa ia, e hoʻi a heluhelu i nā puke ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻO wau iho, ua hauʻoli wau i kēlā me kēia huaʻōlelo. Maikaʻi loa ka noho ʻana i ka papa ʻaina me nā hoaaloha kahiko e like me Lestat, Marius, Louis, Armand, Pandora a me nā mea hou aku he nui a heluhelu pū me kahi moʻolelo hou i ulana ʻia i ka pānaʻi o nā Chronicles. Ua lawe mai ʻo Miss Rice i kahi pūʻulu hou o nā mea hou no mākou i loko o kēia puke moʻolelo a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke alo akā manaʻo wau e noho ana ʻo ia ma kekahi o kēia mau mea no kekahi manawa, i kēia manawa, a ua loaʻa ka manawa kūpono e hoʻohui iā lākou i loko ona. moʻolelo. Lawe mai kēlā me kēia o kēia mau huapalapala i ko lākou leo ​​ponoʻī i ke mele o nā vampires a mākou i mālama ʻia ai i nā makahiki he kanahā i hala.

I kēia manawa, he aha ka mea e hana nei i ka moʻolelo? Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Lestat e hoʻolohe i ka mea āna i kapa ai ʻo Leo. Kamaʻilio iā ia ke noho hoʻokahi ʻo ia, ke hiamoe ʻo ia, ke ʻano palupalu ʻo ia. 'Itlelo iā ia iā ia i loko o kona manaʻo, a i ka mua, makemake wale e ʻike iā ia a ʻike ʻia. ʻAʻole lōʻihi ia ma mua o kā mākou ʻike, eia naʻe, ke kamaʻilio nei kēia Leo i kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe. Kāhea aku ia i ka poʻe i loaʻa ka mana a hoʻonāukiuki iā lākou e pepehi i nā ʻōpio ʻōpio maverick o ka honua. Kūleʻa ia i ka culling ʻana i ka pūʻulu i kahi hui i kēlā me kēia manawa. Hoʻomaka e uē nā ʻōpio i kahi mea nāna e hoʻōla; huli nā kūpuna i kekahi i kekahi e nīnau ana i ka mea e alakaʻi i ke kaua kūʻē i kēia ʻenemi ʻike ʻole ʻia. ʻO Beniamina, kahi vampire ʻōpio me ka lekiō lekiō pūnaewele, kāhea pinepine i nā kūpuna e hui pū e alakaʻi i ka "ʻohana".

Ma kaʻili, ʻO Prince Lestat he mea pohihihi honua e pili ana i ke kumu o kēia Leo a me kāna kumu. E like me ke koena o ke kino o ka hana a Anne Rice, kākaʻikahi ka moʻolelo o ka honua ka mea nui loa. ʻO ka hohonu, kahi puke kēia i ka manaʻo o ke kaiāulu a me ka ʻohana. ʻO ka ʻohana kahi hui o ka poʻe e noho pū ma lalo o ka makuakāne / makuakāne i ka home like? ʻO ka ʻohana kahi hui o ka poʻe āu e hui pū ai me hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha i ka makahiki no nā lā kūikawā a i ʻole inā paʻakikī nā manawa? A i ʻole, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻohana?

A inā ʻoe ma ka moku ʻo New Orleans i kēia hopena pule, e mālama ʻia ana ka Ball Ball Halloween Vampire Lestat Fan Club, a e hele pū ana ʻo Miss Rice a me kāna keiki ʻo Christopher!
