“I prefer the Merry Gentry series but I haven't read any of the Anita Blake that I haven't liked. All of them are very well-written.”

“I am apparently a glutton for punishment. My expectations keep getting lower and lower the more I read the Anita Blake series and I can’t say that I am shocked when the book meets or in some cases doesn’t meet even those lowered standards. So, why do I keep buying them? Because I love Anita and her men (not to be confused with random guys she magically hooks up with) and I love the world Hamilton has created and them summarily destroyed after Obsidian Moon (though I saw it coming after...”

    “True, there is Merry Gentry, but I'd have to say that as far as plot goes, no matter how bad Anita's gets it will always be more then Merry's. The poor girl only ever gets to have crazy fairy sex! And while that is entertaining, the girl needs a bit more backbone (even I wouldn't let that many guys tell me what to do and I'm not a fairy princess no matter how much I wish). Even so, I do look forward to November and the new release.”

    “I so agree with you. What are the chances that LKH reads discussions such as this and actually takes such comments into consideration? I'll keep my fingers crossed that she is getting similar feedback. But, I must say that even with all of my recent complaints, I do love her writing. LKH has created some fantastic characters, and personally, for me, characters hook me more than plot does. I will continue reading Anita Blake books, even if it is the same sex scene over and over and over and over again just because I HAVE to know what is going on in Anita's life.”

    “I can honestly say, this is the first Anita book that I've had to FORCE myself to finish. It was just painful. Now, I'm okay with a sex scene here and there (not throughout), but I'm sick of them rehashing and analyzing said sex scene for the next 5 chapters, constantly building Anita's ego up, and then having sex again because she's been placated. It's a really horrible circle and LKH needs to get out of it. What happened to the actual plot and not all this ardeur mess? I get it... Anita's a succubus. On to something new, or in this case, let's go back to the old. I miss the books with the mysteries and hard-boiled detective feel to them. I miss the zombie raisings. And Kim Harrison and Kelley Armstrong overtook LKH's writing abilities long ago. Patricia Briggs as well.”

    “Can't wait for that!! Any idea how long till that one comes out? I didn't notice anything about it on her website, just that the new Merry Gentry will be out in November.”
