Since being infected with therianthropy in Anita's world means you have to join an evil and stupid culture that forces you to be a sex slave/murderer/energy battery, I think Laila wanting to kill herself is entirely rational.
Anita calls Cynric a "kid". Uuuuuuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.
I still couldn't get used to the fact that "Ted" wore a cowboy hat and Edward didn't like hats.
Anita can't even be flexible enough to deal with someone wearing a damn hat, and we're supposed to believe she's the queen of poly and so open-minded and the bestest "cop" ever?
he says he knows she'll be careful and she says "Like a virgin on her wedding night"
What. How does that work as a metaphor for someone being careful not to get killed? And, uh, wedding nights and/or the first time people have sex aren't generally "careful" times. Do you have any clue what the hell LKH is on about here?
WHY DO THEY NOT KILL OLAF?! They're all ooh, we bend the rules, we're such awesome rebels, and Anita is all too happy to murder other people, but no, not Olaf. Because powerful people are awesome, and you show your power through violence, especially sexual violence against women, and victims completely suck anyway and deserved it. That is what I am getting from LKH's books; that this is what she truly believes. "Might makes right" appears to be the beginning, middle, and end of her moral system.
