ORIGINAL: xxblushesxx The series is more...clever than the books. Charlaine has some well-drawn characters, but she (like Laurel Hamilton) kind of loses her way about half way through a series. It's possible they're being pressured for books that probably shouldn't have been written, which is why some of the later books read like bad charicatures of the earlier ones. I still read them though... I agree with Larurel K. Hamilton, I'm halfway through one right now and it's just drivel and meaningless detail that's not all that relevant to anything. It's disappointing as I really enjoyed the series, maybe it will get better. I don't really agree with Charlaine Harris though, other than one recent book in which I felt the complicated storyline didn't fit her writing style too well and she floundered, I think she's remained pretty true to the original content and substance. It's not horribly dramatic stuff, but it's more fun reading than other serial vamp writers. I was disappointed with Larurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. The earlier books were great when she mixed all the sex with the bloodshed and the detective work. Then she seemed to lose her way with the introduction of the Amour and the metaphysical sex. For christ sake! I'm half way through the book and Anita is still fucking a cast of thousands in the back of the Limo. All right already, Lass! Drag your knees together and get the fuck outta the car! Larural K. Hamiton's Fairy series is much better. Haha I like the fuckfests! I hate the ones that are overly complicated in detail about the damn investigations. I think the ardeur is just the excuse/reason to bring on the fuckfest. I liked the fairy series in the beginning, the last one I read was just confusing garbage in my opinion.
