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.

I have to say that out of the books later in the series "Obsidian Butterfly" was my favorite, probably because it was all asskicking and crime solving and no sex. I also wonder if LKH gets a lot of reader feedback complaining about too much sex. Maybe DM will be different because she knows what her readers want. [hopeful]

Ooh, I loved OB. Good mystery/Anita on unsolid ground. Plus, Edward.

Here, here! OB was the best of the bunch, in my opinion. It had plot and Edward and minimal angsting. What's not to love?

Oh, I love OB. Great plot-big with the murder mystery and lots of Edward. Good stuff.
