Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Surprisingly less porn...When I read 'Danse Macabre' a while ago I said I was calling it quits with Laurell K. Hamilton and her strange new predilection for writing very, very bad porn. Twelve pages into this new novel we're greeted with a twelve page sex scene but surprisingly that's really it for the graphically depicted sexual acts. That at least seems to be a return to her earlier writing style. Unfortunately the book falls flat in many places. There's too much psychoanalysis, yapping and whining. Richard is a total ... Read More Rating: - somewhat disappointedIt seems that these have gotten so complicated. There have been so many characters introduced over the series of these books that I have found it disappointing the author left most of them out. Still the books are awesome and I hope they continue for a long time. Rating: - On the Rise?After the tragedy that was Danse Macabre, The Harlequin was a step up, and Blood Noir is yet again better. The greatness of the series that was Anita Blake ended at Obsidian Butterfly, but what has been the last six or so books is still brilliant writing, even if the plot is dying/dead. Character development is still arguably there and I do still enjoy the characters, but I badly miss the days with RPIT, and, of course, less sex. I did enjoy this episode, but the novel didn't seem to ... Read More Rating:  - Still a must read for me!So I have read all of the books in the Anita Blake's series. This is t he first one I have sent an actual review. I know I am not the best writer, but I'll give it a try. I actually liked this newest installment very much. I do not see Anita's character as a raving whore. I see the complexity of her character. She have slowly evolved throughout this series. She can not change who she is and she accepts this. In my opinion, the Anita Blake series could go on for a very long time. There are ... Read More Rating:  - Oh my god; its absolutely bloody awfulAbout 4 books back I swore I'd never buy another L Hamilton book because it struck me that lately the bulk of the books are about sex; long detailed descriptions of having sex, agonizing about the sex, talking about the sex, etc. I seems to me she's been using sex as a filler for books that would be novella sized otherwise and has lost the backbone and thrust of the story. It's like she's forgotten how to write a story and can only really write about sex now. Which is a shame because ... Read More |
