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.

Oh oh, and all the talk about her being short. Seriously? Girls got Mexican blood, she's not gonna be tall, but really, she's what 5'3''-5'4''? For someone of her ethnicity that's pretty average. And that's about how tall I am and the only time I felt short was when I was dating a guy who was like 6'2'' and had to dance with him. I have a friend who is Latina who's 4'11'', another who's Chinese who's between 5' and 5'1''. That's short.

And I really can't believe she hangs around with so many guys who are around her height. I mean do lycanthropes just pick short guys to turn? It's just weird, I had one guy friend who was my height, and I think even he's a little taller than me now.
