 Perhaps, having read the Anita Blake novels first, my expectations were simply too high. - from a review on Amazon of Nightseer, Laurell K. Hamilton's first novel.

 Considering how the series has gone downhill, that made me laugh quite a bit.

Was she every really uphill? I remember reading the first Anita Blake book and thinking it was okay, but not as good as my wife was raving about.

Then again, since my favorite author is Bujold, my standards of characterization are unreasonably high.

*giggles* And I liked Nightseer.... ;)

Also, I want your icon. :D

I didn't like it but I'm not a fantasy fan, which would account for a lot.

You can take it, I think there's credit info on my userpics page.

I also have this one.

The first six-eight weren't bad, the increased bad porn level of the later books is horrible, and now when I go back, I see all the flaws.

Can I grab this one, too? :D

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

Feel free! Should be credit on icons page.

[shadowcat]

Oooh... you have some awesome icons!

[desert-vixen.livejournal.com]

Just let me know which ones you want to take.

[shadowcat]

I will when I get home! Thank you so much!

If you wait until saturday, I may have some more stuff up on there!

[shadowcat]

I can wait! :D

I seem to recall loving that one, but I was going through my EMO HEROINE OF AWESOME stage. Having tried to re-read it a few years ago, it... does not hold up. I didn't actually manage to finish it.
