There is so much questionable content in this book, mostly consisting of incest, rape, and pedophilia. The ending of the last book left a bad taste in my mouth and I wasn't sure if I was going to continue the series, even though I had a copy of this book and its sequel. But I decided to continue the series and use this as an entry in Reddit's r/fantasy book bingo for the Sequel card. Even though the first book was very messed up, Anne Rice wrote with such a richness of detail and worldbuilding, that I was drawn into the world and retained a lot of memories of the book and characters so even though I read this one a year later, I still knew all of the details. But so much of the content is revolting. I question the people who wrote blurbs for these books describing them as "steamy" or "sexy" because most of the sex involves incest, rape, or pedophilia. So, why did I read this? I wanted to see if there was an explanation for why these behaviors were normalized for these characters, and there was. Sort of. The magical being Lasher was subtly manipulating this family for countless generations to create right circumstances for his physical rebirth. I choose to believe that the characters were acted upon by forces they don't understand or even acknowledge to behave the way they did. And in that regard, I wanted to see where the story went. I was much happier with the ending of this book, but I'm still only rating it 2 stars because there was so much gross and wrong content to get through. ( ) Rowan Mayfair, la hermosa y brillante reina del aquelarre, pretende escapar de Lasher, el atractivo demonio cuyo hechizo ella encuentra irresistible. Sin embargo, ambos seres se hallan unidos por un vÃnculo que va más allá del deseo: han concebido una criatura que 'nacerá con la semilla de la sabidurÃa, capaz de andar y hablar desde el primer dÃa'. My overall opinion of the Mayfair witch trilogy is that "Witching Hour" is the best, and it is a minor downhill ride from there. I did enjoy this book, particularly Julien's tale that fills in the missing links from the first novel. I liked the character of Lasher better in the first novel, when he was just a ghost on steroids. I find the whole concept of the Taltos to be intriguing in "Lasher" but it wears thin by the end of "Taltos". I know some people would be deeply disturbed by the incest and sexually active thirteen year old girl in this book, but I don't let that stuff bug me when I read a work of literature. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
