Why read it?
1 author picked Taltos as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In her final novel of the Mayfair Witch Trilogy, Anne Rice really seduced me with the concept of the sympathetic monster.

Around the creation of her creatures, she wove a history of fiction and legend and Celtic history that I found fascinating. I read this book almost thirty years ago, and it’s still one of those books that I hark back to as inspiration.
From Chloe's list on for quality writing and believable characters.
