Finished Circus of the Damned (Laurell K. Hamilton) a few days ago.
Finished Cerulean Sins (LKH) today.

I don't think Anita and I would be friends.

How was Cerulean Sins? I just borrowed it from a friend but haven't started it yet.

Like Narcissus in Chains, only more so.

Anita doesn't have friends. No loss. :)

Pranks for justice!

I stopped reading the Anita Blake books when I realized that if I were her friend, I would scream, "Jesus, just pick one already!" and smack her upside the head.

[azurelunatic]

She's even lousy as a polyamorist...

The Merry Gentry stuff makes me want to gag, too. I seriously don't think Laurell's ever heard the term "Mary Sue". And if she has, she thinks it's something to aspire to. Ack.

[azurelunatic]

Oh dear. I should remember to avoid that, then.

...I got snagged on Anita because there was the one book The Lunatic Café, and, well... with my name, how could I resist?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yes, do avoid it. The basic premise of the Merry Gentry books can be summed up with, "Hi, my name's Merry Gentry, and see all of these tall, drop-dead gorgeous, long- and multi-colored-haired, zero-percent-body-fat hotties? They're my stud farm!" They don't call her "Fairy Sue" for nothing. *user grits teeth*

[azurelunatic]

Yaaaagh.

The only good thing about the Merry Gentry books? It doesn't even pretend to be anything other than a PWP...:> And, developed a deep seated hatred for the entire Anita verse after reading Narcissus in chains.

Stop Now

My mate cyriael is a fan of the series and has it from beginning to current. Just a heads up, it slowly degrades into poor erotica.

Yep. It sure does.

This is why libraries were invented, gods bless 'em.
