A very dear friend of mine just started reading the Blake books from the beginning, and I have warned her that "After Obsidian Butterfly, it degrades into rape, sexual manipulation,pederasty, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, prejudice, and sociopathy - all coming from Anita herself."
My friend doesn't care. She even named her new Nook ebook "Jean Claude" and thinks Anita is "the best kick-ass heroine ever." I'm not sure how she'll feel about the later books, or even if she'll notice that Anita actively rapes men. My friend is a self-described "Uber-feminine girly-girl with a damsel in distress personality who loves anything romantic and wants to be a Disney princess." I kind of hope the rape and manipulation bits in the books wakes her up.
