The opposite of up

[mhalachai]

Allow me to clarify my rabidness about the Anita Blake books:

They're books. I tend to focus on the positive and the things I like in them, as I dislike to the extreme the crap that comes off a lot of the AB forums on the Internet, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to the books faults. These days, all that I read goes through the "Anita Blake fanfic" filter, so it's likely I'm looking at the books in a different way than you lot.

So here it is: As opposed to the normal sunshine and cheer that goes around here, take the opportunity to nitpick, to say what you don't like about the Anita Blake books/characters/cover art etc. Thing is, if you say you don't like something, you need to say why.

Also, feel free to comment anonymously.

ETA PS: There are now spoilers for Micah and the Danse Macabre teaser in this thread. FYI KTHNX.

Preach woman preach! Well Ive thought all the Anita Blake books were great, Richard got on my nerves sometimes, I would of slapped him a long time ago, But hey! He will learn lol. I love these books, But i think theres to much sex, not that I have a problem with it and I understand why she has to do it all the time, but I loved the first couple of books when she was at crimes scenes more often. I dunno! My opinion. BTW Mhalachai, I totally love you fanfic storys. =)

Seconded

The sex is lovely and all, but it's gotten to the point that in "Micah" I felt like the whole story was her relationship with Micah and that sex scene and very little solving of mysteries. All the answers to our questions were sort of dumped on us at the end after she woke up in the hospital. Very little foreshadowing/crime solving.

Hey, thanks! I'm never sure what LKH wants us to think about Richard -- are we, the audience, supposed to be on his side or not? I think that's one of the reasons I find Richard a hard character to "get"

Anita at crime scenes = awesome, no matter what :)
