Out of all the morally bankrupt things Anita has attempted to justify, this has pretty much pushed it over the line for me. I've got all the books up to Kiss the Dead on my kindle, and while I've only read the first eleven (I think) I'm going to get rid of them. I just do not want to read any more of a series where the heroine becomes something this vile and we're still supposed to see her as a good person.
I've read books with appalling main characters before. One of my favourite characters in a series is actually an Inquisitor at a royal court and does some pretty terrible things, including letting an innocent man be horrifically executed because its more convenient for him and the work he's trying to do. But its made very clear in the narration and the other characters' attitudes that this is not a good thing and said character is a fucking terrible person! How can LKH write that argument between Anita and Larry and still think Anita is in the right?
I just...how can people read this thing and still think its good and that Anita is an awesome person?
