I like the books for the character interaction and character growth. My favorite so far is "Incubus Dreams" because there was a lot of character growth in the book. My least favorite is "Obsidian Butterfly" because Anita and Edward were the only established characters in the book, and Edward doesn't do much for me.

Interesting. I liked OB because we saw what happens when Anita's removed from her comfort zone. (Plus I dig Edward as a foil for Anita, so)

The best part of ID for me was how Anita began to realize what she'd been doing to Nathaniel and Damian. How her discomfort at dealing with them as people was really hurting them ever more. Growth abounds :)

My two favorite so far have been OB and ID because they're all about Consequences!Anita. In both books, she's forced to examine how her actions affect those around her, how her missteps have larger consequences.

That, and I love Edward- so OB was pretty much guaranteed to be my favorite. It's not just Edward though, I think I liked seeing how ANita would operate in the 'normal' world, away from her monsters. WE got a glimpse of how damaged she really was, forced outside of her comfort zone, as you said.

I like ID mostly for the character development. The plot was shit- and only half finished. She only wrote half a story then stuffed a bunch of sex development in it. I guess since I adore Nathaniel and Micah, this was a good book for me.
