Dead Ever After

Followed this series for many years and developed a LOVE/HATE relationship with Harris and her heroine. While I lost my enthusiasm for these books many installments ago, I am surprised I wasn't totally disappointed by this finale. Not perfect, by any means, but it felt real. I much prefer this conclusion to the other possible outcomes. Would have liked a more detailed account of what becomes of the major characters, but maybe she was smart to leave those endings to our imaginations.

The seris in general is a bit fluffy compared to my other favorites ex laurell k hamilton. But not a bad read. The last book is a bit dismissive of all the main characters, the end between sookie and eric is diluted, with no real closure. The start with sam is fleeting, he was more of a presence in books that had less to do with him. Her stlye and attitude is un-sookie like. Not very indepth and a diffrent writing style. Like a cover band. But if you've read the others......

Epic Fail. If I could have given it no stars I would have. I loved the series up until the last 2 books. 2nd to last was OK at best & I held out hope she'd fix it all and wrap it well. My hopes were crushed. I say this not because I didn't get the pairing I wanted (although I didn't & after a 10 book build up that's...ugh!), but because it felt slapped together & many characters were written as if by someone unfamiliar with them. CH saw our cash in hand & the end of a 13 book commitment she hated in sight!
