Vittorio, The Vampire

This novel has entirely original characters. It is refreshing to see new cast of characters who have nothing to do with the characters in The Vampire Chronicles. Vittorio is an interesting character who is both fascinated by the vampires and repulsed by them.
However, the mussing about religion and belief felt a little bit too long and repetitive, and could have been shortened. The addition of certain group of characters felt hardly necessary. Almost all of the secondary characters felt flat. This applies to Ursula who even, also, being a main character hardly has any personality or agency.
