| Posted By: Pestilence Posted On: Jul 6, 2006 Views: 1854 | the Anita Blake series in general Since around "Blue Moon" or so, the books have been little more than excuses for Anita to screw her way through the supernatural world. The stories are no longer horror-mysteries. She's no longer the sandpapery-tender character that I loved to be annoyed with; she's just a slut with a string of drooling lovers following her like dogs on a leash. She's so irresistible, it's hysterical. Hamilton forced a choice between Richard-originally a very good, moral, naive man, turned into a monster through no fault of his own-and Jean Claude, the obligatory sexy,French vampire. Anita went from being freaked out by a naked woman crawling to her (Cherry) to needing to have two men with her at the same time. These and other artificial plot devices have diverted the books into storylines that have harmed the series. Frankly, I refuse to buy any more of the Blake books; and if you read Hamilton's 'Nightseer", you'll see that it's just Anita & Jean Claude in different packaging. Many fanfics that I've read are better; while they may contain sex, they *also* have a plot. |
| Posted By: Rachel Posted On: Oct 15, 2005 Views: 2089 | Incubus Dreams I loved Incubus Dreams. Yes it was heavy on the sex but I thought it was a nice break from all the serious & violent plotlines from some of the past books. I think this book was more about developing the relationships of the characters & wrapping up some of the loose ends of Anita's moral dilemmas. But hey, I love Anita & her gang of lovers & comrades. And I am looking forward to seeing Edward again & finding out what happened with him & the single mom he was falling for. |
