Does anyone here plan on giving The Harlequin a chance? I've read a few good reviews and the teaser was so much better than anything she's put out in a long, long time. It makes me wonder if she might possibly redeem herself with this one?

I have it ordered from the library. I am also on PaperBackSwap, and so I've got it requested there. I'd buy it second hand. I will definately read it, but I won't pay hardback for it. But I don't pay hardback $ for anything really.

You lovely Lashers will probably think I'm nuts, lol, but as awful as parts of DM were there were kernels of stuff I found interesting. To me it was an improvement over the few books that had come before.

I'm still interested in many of the secondary characters. Anita though... I doubt it's possible to redeem her in my eyes at this point. Unless we find out that she's been under someone else's control since NiC. That would be cool and totally make sense to me.

I continue to read this series for the secondary characters. If they keep getting ruined, like what I fear is happening with Edward, then I don't know if I'll continue. I will give Harlequin a chance though.

As for Merry, I read the first book and she never appealed to me as much as Anita. I have the second book around here (found it free) but I don't know if I should bother reading it with so many other great books I could spend time with.
