À propos de cet audio

 "RICE IS A FORMIDABLE TALENT...[Taltos] is a curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history and high soap opera."
--The Washington Post Book World
"CAPTIVATING...TALTOS IS A WONDERFUL OFFERING...THE BEST SHE'S DONE....There is a new member of Anne Rice's macabre family of monsters, and he's probably the loneliest, most melancholy creature on earth....Rice keeps the mystic fires burning strong."
--The Milwaukee Journal
"SPELLBINDING...MYTHICAL...Anne Rice is a pure storyteller."
--Cosmopolitan
"RICE IS A STYLISH WRITER...What works best throughout the book is the magical collusion of the real and the mythical, the intermingling of the Taltos and witches with ordinary mortals in the present-day world."
--New York Newsday
"BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"WHAT CAN I CONFESS? I'M ASHLAR. I'M A TALTOS.
It's centuries since I've seen one single other member of my own species. Oh, there have been others. I've heard of them, chased after them, and in some instances almost found them. Mark, I say almost. But not in centuries have I touched my own flesh and blood, as humans are so fond of saying. Never in all this time....[pg. 64]
When Ashlar learns that another Taltos has been seen, he is suddenly propelled into the haunting world of the Mayfair family, the New Orleans dynasty of witches forever besieged by ghosts, spirits, and their own dizzying powers. For Ashlar knows this powerful clan is intimately linked to the heritage of the Taltos.
In a swirling universe filled with death and life, corruption and innocence, this mesmerizing novel takes us on a wondrous journey back through the centuries to a civilization half-human, of wholly mysterious origin, at odds with mortality and immortality, justice and guilt. It is an enchanted, hypnotic world that could only come from the imagination of Anne Rice . . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Taltos is the third book in a series known as the lives of the Mayfair witches. . .Their haunted heritage has brought the family great wealth, which is exercised from a New Orleans manse with Southern gentility; but of course such power cannot escape notice . . . or challenge . . . Rice is a formidable talent. . . . [Taltos]is a curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.”—The Washington Post Book World

“Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“An intricate, stunning imagination.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Spellbinding . . . mythical . . . Anne Rice is a pure storyteller.”—Cosmopolitan

“Beautifully written.”—Kirkus Reivews (starred review)

“Her power of invention seems boundless. . . . She has made a masterpiece of the morbid, worthy of Poe's daughter. . . . It is hard to praise sufficiently the originality of Miss Rice.”—The Wall Street Journal

Narrator is spectacular, making the characters all the more memorable and alive.
Very worth revisiting.

Deliciously theatrical

This book was by far the most enjoyable out of the trilogy. It wrapped everything up so well. Once I started listening I couldn't stop.

Best out of the trilogy.

I have enjoyed the entire Mayfair witches series. it has been both exciting and inspiring. I love the writing though sometimes I find it the tiniest bit hard to digest certain things like Mona's character and the words she uses at her age etc. despite that the books are all smashing and the performance by Kate Reading who has become one of my favorite narrators was excellent as usual.

Loved the series

I love the world that Anne Rice has created. The characters are so vivid I could imagine seeing them from a distance. Wanting to meet them. Wanting to be one of them. Magical.

Not sure exactly why this story was told or necessary?
Talamasca story would have been far more interesting.. That's a entire series itself. I would give alot to see a story about that...

No Climax.

The Witching Hour is one of Anne Rice’s best books. This one just feels like an extended epilogue filled with all manner of strange digressions. And with as much time as is spent wrapping everything up, the final lines feel incredibly unsatisfying.
Kate Reading is incredible, and if you want to be a completionist and read all three Mayfair books, her narration is excellent and elevates the material really well, but just in terms of the story, it’s clear Rice ran out of ideas and allowed the story to fizzle out.

Unsatisfying Conclusion

Un problème est survenu. Veuillez réessayer dans quelques minutes.
The narrator is excellent, she brought the characters to life. The two books prior to Taltos are addicting. Taltos itself was less rousing and the ending was unimaginative.

After 3 books, the ending disappoints
