So did anyone notice:

in the dedication of Incubus Dreams, she dedicated it to her grandmother, who apparently raised her. Her grandmother's last name was Gentry. Is this news to anyone else? Because I had no idea she named Merry after her own family name.

Also, I got through skimming the first chapter and had to put the book down and read some Neil Gaiman instead to soothe the righteous anger I felt on Ronnie's behalf. Any self-respecting female, upon being treated like that by her supposed best friend, would tell her to FUCK OFF soundly and walk out. Clearly, LKH knows nothing about best friends.

I knew Merry was Mary-Sue but I did have some hopes for a plot.
I also hope to look like Michelle Pfeiffer, but that aint happening either.

there is a plot in the merry books but there is also a secondary plot as well. First you have the obvious that there is a competition for the throne. (first one pregnant wins) Then there is the power rising in merry herself. And as the books progress so do her powers. But what she will do with them is still up in the air. All that is known is that when she is done there will be a whole new bunch of god's and one pissed off Queen.!!!

I see the MG books following the same path as the AB books. Sex over everything. Sex for no apparent reason. Badly written sex for no reason.
Yes, Merry heals by sex but why have a queen when she is going to fuck every male and make them a god? Will Merry be elevated to Queen of the Gods? Sort of defeats the purpose. How will the gods feel? Gods by their very nature tend to egotistical. They are going to kow-tow to some half mortal queen?

I was hoping for court intrigue, fae history, spies, murder, mayhem, blood and gore on a larger scale. We are getting so little of the "meat" of a story but lots of sex, screaming, and inconsistent time lines.
Kinda like AB only the chaacters have different names.
Plots crumble and disappear in LKH's books because they are beaten to death with penises. I have Penis Plot Phobia now.
