Oh yeah, I can definitely agree with the Mary Sue aspect in regards to the numbers.
You mean poor Joseph. He wanted to be faithful to his wife, so Anita gave the go-ahead for vicious mob lions from Chicago to come into St. Louis, knowing they would kill him and his family (as well as a good number of his Pride and probably rape the women).
Ug, yup. I don't even read porn and I think I could do better too. What also bothers me is that it didn't start off as porn. It changed. If you're going to have a porn series, have a porn series from the start. People who got into Anita Blake for what it originally was have no reason to want the entire genre and focus of the series to shift. If people want porn, they'll get a damn porn book, not something that's supposed to be a paranormal thriller.
I love the universe and the world she's built. It has SUCH potential to be something fantastic. A world that's fun to read about and explore, full of danger and peril. And it's just...wasted
Yes yes yes! That is exactly my beef with it, more than ANYTHING else, even the horrible rape stuff! You have no idea how much I wish I could go back in time, stop her from writing and then use the ideas myself, muahahah, so I could do something with them instead, because she's sure as hell stopped being interested in it beyond how she can Anita more sex.
