• Very Disappointing.
03 June, 2009
When it was described as "Written in cooperation with Anne Rice," I expected information that Rice 'knew', but didn't include in the books (e.g. the name of Michael's mother, where did Nancy Mayfair come from?) There is little in the book that cannot be pulled from the trilogy. From flipping through and reading maybe 25-30% of the entries I have noticed errors of fact (the Chronology for 1936 says Ryan was born to Cortland and Amanda, but Ryan's father is the older Pierce--Cortland was his grandfather), mistakes in cross-referencing (the entry for 'Judith' directs the reader to 'Chris', but the entry 'Chris' simply redirects the reader to the preferred heading 'Little Chris'), and a number of over-simplifications and, in my opinion, misinterpretations of events. I have found it very disappointing, but it might be helpful for first time readers.

• A Vital Reference Guide To The Mayfair Trilogy
19 July, 2002
"The Witches' Companion" is a very exhaustive encyclopedia of all the terms, characters, locations, and events in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy (The Witching Hour, Lasher, and Taltos). Everything's included in this mammoth 500+-paged book: maps, illustrations and photos, a Mayfair family tree, bits of Anne Rice information, a chronology of important dates, in-depth character biographies, European and American history--the list goes on.If you're an Anne Rice fan--and especially if you enjoyed the Mayfair trilogy--, then I highly recommend this official reference guide to her popular witch series. It's definitely worth owning, since it answers every question you've ever had about this trilogy and then some.Also recommended: Katherine Ramsland's "The Vampire Companion".

These books are excellent.Anne Rice is a very believeable writer. The insight into the lives of Lasher and the other Mayfair Witches are spellbounding,I could not put the books down. If you would like to read a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat,and very hard to stop reading at bed time,read the Mayfair Witches chronicles. There needs to be more of them!

• A Must-have For The Trilogy
15 March, 2000
Unless you have an excellent photographic memory, you need this book. It straightens out and clarifies all of the family lineage, and gives you more background information on locations, people, and objects. It also gives some much needed info on the Talamasca, which is ever-present in Rice's novels. Buy this if you like reading the Mayfair trilogy.
