I liked the world-building. The idea that, in the first books, she actually stopped to /consider/ how the modern world would be affected if these things existed, and we gave some of them rights. The Church of Eternal Life just rang true for me in the beginning. It /worked/. Animators-for-hire raising zombies to get confirmations on wills /worked/. It was brilliant.
I liked the struggle that Anita felt, between knowing that the only way she could compete against creatures vastly more powerful than herself was by giving up her morality in favor of cold practicality, but still trying to do the Right Thing, and lose as little of herself in the process.
