For fluff, it's got some really dark scenes. It doesn't have enough of a plot to be anything more than fluff, though. It absolutely does NOT stand alone, so don't consider reading this book unless you've read all that went before it - you'll be hopelessly lost.
Sookie has changed so much over the course of this series that she is having trouble recognizing herself, and is troubled over it, with good reason. Having a main character change is good, and I'll say that some of that change is growth, but I can't say it's all growth, or all to the good. (Can any of us say that, though, about the changes we go through in our lives?)
This book was a good continuation of the story. I don't really get what was so controversial about this book. It was classic Sookie! I love how Sookie processes how her morals have changed after becoming involved with the vamps & supes.
Another Sookie story that I really loved. I love that the story still intrigues me enough to keep going. The gang is up against Victor who is in charge of the area but really wants Eric to be gone because he senses a threat. Eric and Sookie need to be one step ahead of him at all times. We have the fairies Dermott and Claude and her friend Amelia who all keep butting into her love life.
Unfortunately, this series is starting to lose steam. I had a really hard time getting into this book because it seemed such a very different style from the previous books - almost as if it wasn't even written by Charlaine Harris - it just lacked the right voice.
I quite enjoyed this book, but I didn't really “love” it. To be fair, it's more between 4 and 4.5 stars. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but there it wasn't amazing.
At this point, I'm only finishing this series in the hopes that Sookie dies at the end.
