"My absolute Favorite Book. I had read "The Vampire Armand" previously and had been introduced to Marius, and of course read of him briefly in "The Queen of the Damned" but until this book, he was just another character. After this read, He had become my all time favorite character and the book also helped me figure out what I was missing in "Queen"."
"Marius's story, i hate it how they used him in queen of the damned! he had nothing to do with that book! but then again...queen of the damned was a bad bad bad bad movie!! ><
one of the oldest vampire tell his story! this book is very good but not for a begginer! at least read some of the other ann rice's vampire books first. ^^"
"De tous les vampires imaginés par Anne Rice, Marius est sans doute le plus civilisé, le plus raffiné.
Philosophe et artiste, mentor de Lestat et Armand qui, comparés à lui, font figure d'enfants turbulents, gardien d'Enkil et Akasha, il émane de lui une sorte de sagesse et de sérénité. Peut-être cela s 'explique t-il par le fait qu'il a été un témoin privilégié de la grandeur et la décadence de l'Empire romain, a assisté à l'épanouissement de Constantinople, puis découvert la Renaissance italienne.
Mais quelqu'un de cette stature ne peut que se faire des ennemis. Car il y a aussi, parmi les vampires, des barbares, assoiffés de sang, qui commencent à se réclamer de Satan."
"I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. I was so happy to finally get the story of Marius The Roman! You get pieces to the puzzle in almost every book in the series, but you never really understand why he acts/reacts the way he does. He is the most selfish and sensitive character by far. My favorite book of this series was always "Queen of the Damned". This book describes in detail the making of the vampires, and what lead to the mother Akasha to finally lose it. The part that always bothered me was that Marius, being the keeper of the "Parents" was cast aside by the mother when she finally woke up. This book finally describes the events that took place while Marius played the keeper. Overall, I would say that this book is now my second favorite in the series!"
