Anita - Setting

[dan-lian.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking a bit about LKH lately (mostly because I'm looking fora MUX or two to play in, and ran across some Anita Blake ones). I think she had a fantastic setting--it was modern without shooting into the future, it was realistic and intelligently formed, with realistic bias and prejudice. Where did that go? When did it go away?

I think LKH got to the point that she felt people knew enough about her universe, Anita's world, to not need the constant setting material, and then flung us into Anita's sex life. By doing that, I think she forgot a lot of the things she developed and where she went with it, and it's been disappointing.

What are your thoughts on it? Do you like the world, minus Anita's sex life?

The Anita-in-the-wolf pack makes less sense the more you think about it. Richard is the ulfric and strength in the pack is paramount. You'd think that Richard would have banished her long ago seeing that all Anita does is bust his chops. By taking her crap he looks weak but throwing her out might be a good tactical move on his part because it show everyone he's capable of removing a thorn from his side.
