Oooooh, I wish I had dreams like that! It's weird how you can have this heartsickness for places nobody alive has ever been... this also reminds me of the story Ramadan from the Sandman series. It's about Old Baghdad, pre-every-preconception-we-have-now.
Oh, man. Old Baghdad! Yet another place to be sick at heart about D:
But Thorne is just so stupid! "Hello, pretty cloud. Cloud Gift. Hello, pretty rabbit. Rabbit Gift. Hello, breath. Breath Gift." Maybe I'll just skip to the awesome historical parts. ;)
*snort* "Hello, nice snow people, who I am kind to because I only bite you in small instalments and don't actually kill you!"
It's worth skimming to the part where Marius starts talking about how he felt about what Lestat did. That's awesome. Thankfully it goes into the proper flashback part soon after, and you have maybe 500 Thorne-less pages. And even Marius doesn't use the word "Gift" quite as much.
