The opposite of up

mhalachaiAllow 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.

Simply because in most cases, the artists or graphic design people who create the covers, or those people who choose the covers have never actually read the books. They probably get the blurb on the back and the genre of the book in the most limited cases, and maybe a brief description of a character (i.e. short white woman with dark hair kicking vampire ass) to work from. And that's it. So...while I may not think that the covers represent the characters or the storylines to the utmost, I can't really blame them either.
