lkh_lashoutsSo, today I began choosing the books I'm going to be taking to my new dorm in a months time and I ran across the old copy of Narcissus in Chains that I rescued from my town's public library soon-to-be-trash bin a few years ago and I couldn't help myself; I actually flipped through the pages. I'm convinced these books have some sort of magnetic pull that entrances people for a few minutes. That's the only thing that can explain their continued success.
Anyway, I ended up wondering about some of the plot points that LKH pretty much forgot about. I only tried to read Ceruleans Sins after that, and I must admit it scarred my psyche, so I maybe she did mention some of this stuff and I just wasn't brave enough to wade through the horrifying attempts at a JC/Asher/Anita "threesome" (JC and Asher need the assistance of a woman to fuck? WTH?). So, I ask those of you who were strong minded enough to deal with the hell that were the next books, did LKH ever do anything with the following plots even if it was only at the "epilogue" at the end of all the books:
The thing with Dolph and his son marrying a vampire. That was the only part of Narcissus in Chains were I was actually interested in what was going on instead of just morbidly fascinated at the sheer badness of the book. Did Anita ever meet with Dolph's wife like she promised to do?
The werefox Jill. And while we're on the subject, why did LKH decide to characterize foxes as cowards? In all the legends I've ever read, foxes were either powerful tricksters and villains or sacred animals. Did LKH do her fox research from Dora the Explorer?
And no, I will not be taking that book with me to college.

Date: 2007-05-26 02:36 pm (UTC)A young boy who was sexually assaulted like that in such extreme conditions should be in therapy learning that was the exception and not the rule. Or should be hanging out with Edward learning that was a monster in human skin and we kill those and this is how to tell the difference between monsters, douchebags (which we only beat up) and regular people.
I know I'm grasping at logic here. But while I can absolutely believe Peter having an ideation on Anita because she did help his family (after all the whole thing helped him grow closer to Edward) - I do not believe that Anita who has sex with anybody is someone the character should continue to feel anything for. It should be a shock to see a 'hero' in such a sexualized manner - like seeing Rambo cross dressed and serving a dominatrix.
How many 'oopsies, I dropped the ball' does it take for Edward to let a young boy he's training to handle his violent impulses be anywhere near yet another female monster in human skin?!
