ReviewsPraise for Pandora "Eerily vibrant . . . A wealth of narrative twists and period detail." -- The New York Times Book Review "Rice's most beautifully written work . . . a book that celebrates the wonder of the world on every page." --Raleigh News & Observer "Hypnotically readable." -- Mademoiselle "Rice writes as vividly about the turbulent Roman Empire as she has about New Orleans, Venice, and Paris. Her prodigious research, evident in the peripheral stories that inform us about Pandora's background and character, provides a bridge to the next installment--the much anticipated tale of Armand." -- Trenton Times "A marvelous book . . . Pandora in many ways fulfills the promise she first showed in Interview. . . . She is the most fascinating character to come from Rice's fertile imagination." -- Grand Rapids Press "Pandora has long been one of her more elusive characters, so fans will relish this vivid rendering of her life and times." -- Publishers Weekly "A nicely crafted, action-packed tale." -- New York Post Praise for Vittorio, the Vampire "[An] enchanting preternatural tale." --Associated Press "Sensuous . . . its intensity never flags." -- Los Angeles Times "A fascinating tale . . . reaffirms Rice's title as the queen of vampire literature." -- The Denver Post "Rice resurrects the opulent world of the Renaissance. . . . The destruction of the trio of angels are the highlights of this installment of the New Tales of the Vampires. Rice does an excellent job of contrasting the tortured souls of the vampires and the pure beauty of the angels." -- The Tampa Tribune "A taut, finely crafted plot, shot through with lush imagery and compelling history, seduces the reader into Vittorio's world as surely as Vittorio himself is seduced into the realm of the Undead . . . Rice once again makes us see the world through the eyes of the vampire. . . . Vittorio, the Vampire is at once a morality play, a vampiric and sensual Romeo and Juliet." --Fredericksburg Freelance Star "A neatly compressed little tale, with many pleasures, not the least of which is its ability to transport the reader to another time, another place, filled with angels and demons, light and darkness . . . Rice is at her best when writing of a historical period she loves, and the Renaissance is obviously dear to her heart. The political intrigues of the conflict between Florence and Milan, the renowned patronage and complex politics of the Medici, the scandalous life and divine art of Fra Lippo Lippi, the splendors of Michelozzo's Dominican Monastery of San Marco--all are described in vivid detail." --New Orleans Times-Picayune
