People may fill in the above character, identified as Jean-Claude, a character that debuted in this series 20 years ago who has been described countless times before, with COMPLETELY WRONG NOTIONS OF HOW HE LOOKS AND WHAT HE IS AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ANITA if Laurell doesn't describe him minutely in the introductory paragraph.
Does she really think readers, even new ones, would go "trol lol lol OH MY GOD THIS MAN IS NOT BLOND AS I IMAGINED! DESTROYED! OMG... he's a VAMPIRE????" and be completely unable to continue with the book? (I was reading a book the other day and didn't realise the main character was a girl for about three chapters. Did it make me unable to enjoy and comprehend the novel? No.
Also it's really really important that readers relearn every time that Anita is uncertain of her looks compared with her blindingly beautiful boyfriends.
