Fascinating story

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021

I have read a lot of ancient history and it was fun to see parts of this book describing the days in old Babylon very accurate. There are parts of this story I didn’t like and it have to do with my own faith and the way the author makes the true God a person with human flaws but other than that, great history and storyline, it is something else, read it in two days

This was a major improvement after the book, "Memnoch the Devil." It's actually narrated in the first person by two different characters, the first is Jonathan who was chosen by Azriel to write his story. A good portion of the book is an exchange between these two characters which works wonderfully and flows very well. Once we reach the point in Azriel's story which takes part in modern day the book becomes difficult to read for long periods at a time, almost mimicking the conflicting feelings Azriel has for Gregory Belkin and their interactions. It has nothing to do with any of the other books in any of her series, which makes a nice break if you are trying to read her entire vampire and witch collection at one time. Jonathan does not have a big part in the book as the book is titled Servant of the Bones it is entirely about him with a small portion dealing with Jonathan

A beautiful experience!

This book is completely cerebral! You must stay with the story to understand it. Anne did wonderful research on the ancient middle eastern religions and the Jewish Hasidim. As always, lush imagary. The central character is a beautiful and tragic young Jewish exile who is tricked into a nightmare situation from which he cannot escape. You may just find yourself falling in love with his fictional character. The Jewish author with whom he is sharing his story is fascinating in his own right. This tale isn't peopled with unnecassary characters or mundane scenes. There is some erotica near the end of the story, but unlike some of the other tales she tells, it does not dominate the plot line. A very vivid mystery of biblical status. If you are at all interested in a good piece of literature, you will find this book won't disappoint you, but it is a really quick read. Definately on my top 10 list of all time great works by Anne!

Anne Rice is a pleasure to read. Great story teller, intelligent plots, and she puts on the story many of her personal philosophical struggles.

Can not put it down!

The wost thing about this book is that it portrays a bible character in a bad light. Other than that its excellent on all accounts. Interesting plot. Great story development. You cant put this book down once you pick it up. I am not a fan of sex in books either. It can incite lust. Theres a little of that in there. So be warned. Hands down one of the most interesting works of fiction ive ever read.

If you liked Anne Rice's "Mummy" or Vampire books you'll like this one too. Typical Anne Rice immortal being with super natural powers who struggles with good vs. evil inner conflicts. There's also the requisite historic and exotic locales woven into a fascinating story. Anne Rice is a great story teller who's tales are almost believable.

THRILLING STORY TELLING

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2014

A former student of mine from my days teaching at a college handed me this book with the admonition: "Bob, you will like this." At the time, I thought (to myself): "Not likely!" I was incorrect! This is a good read and some of the genuine history Ms Rice exposes in her tale surprised me greatly. She writes of some Sumerian gods that I assumed (wrongly) that perhaps only a half dozen of us old scholars knew about. I did enjoy it greatly.
