    I enjoyed the books because I enjoyed thinking about the sort of author who would write something like that. Kind of getting into her head even though she didn’t intend it. Especially Queen of the Damned.

    And I love the idea that elder vampires are easily strong enough to reveal themselves and conquer the world, but they just don’t because they’re too lazy and decadent to rock the boat.

    I prefer the White Wolf / World of Darkness setting though. “We don’t reveal ourselves because humans would wipe the floor with us and then hunt us to extinction, like they’ve always done with everything that’s ever threatened them. Despite our power, we can’t beat their industry.”
