I like the premise of the Merry Gentry books, and like AB:VH there's so much potential that's just being squandered. I mean, Merry is a PI, but she doesn't really do any PI work. She doesn't use those skills to help her unravel the mysteries as to why she's being dragged back to court, or use those skills to help her survive. I know a few people who don't like the MG books because they're more political, but imo they're not political enough. And what politics is in there is just plain stupid with everyone sitting around to talk about what's happened, what might happened, and what they're going to do. No, when you're setting up that smiling the wrong way at someone can cost you your life, this doesn't make any sense that they'd sit back and go "you're right, Merry, we should all learn to love each other. I can't believe that after so many thousands of years, I never realised that I just needed a hug and to talk about my sexual frustrations."
No, god. Stop right there. Have the faeries be beautiful and brutal and fight to remain in this world or have others content with fading away, ne'er to be seen again and there can be weeping over how some of the giants of magic may disappear forever. The books could still be full of porn, and none of it would be at the detriment of plot or character.
Also, tentacle sex. We could have had that. I am disappoint.
