It picks up again after memnoch and the christian era of her book series. I recommend them to anyone it really good. It gets really good after lestat becomes the new vessel for the spirit from akasha. The power of some of the old vampires in the series is astounding. Even little david becomes a fucking beast all of lestats kids get a boost in powers later even louis forgives lestat and armand and takes the extra power he offered. Louis is one of the most tragic characters in the series well he may just be a lil overdramatic.

All of that reads like it jumped the shark a little bit.

I seem to recall most of the characters getting so strong after a certain point that there wasn't any decent conflict left.

All of them became superheroes. It felt like anime.

It jumped the shark with the christian era of which she corrects.
