After finishing DM I decided that I needed to go back and try to remember WHY I liked the series in the first place. I decided to go for OB just because I can't remember what happened in most of that book, but I remembered that Edward had a starring role.

I'm only a few chapters into it, but gawd. Anita has character. There's actually a plot! She's doing something besides fucking! She raised zombies and was working with the cops!

*cries* When is the old Anita going to come back to us?

But now I am starting to wonder what Edward has been up to since we last saw him. I think it would be interesting if Ted DID get married. He'd send an invite to Anita and she'd have to bring her harem of men. It MIGHT actually be a good story if LKH could bring back personalities to her characters. Edward would be there as Ted, pissed as hell over Anita's harem and dealing with trying to figure out what he should do. Would he let Ted slip enough so that he had to show Donna what he really was by trying to kill as many of the harem as possible, or would he just let the rage build up during the wedding and vow to take down Anita and the crew some other day? After all, in OB it's mentioned that Edward likes hunting the dangerous pray. I can't think of anyone more dangerous in the Antiaverse now than Anita.

I keep thinking that Edward would find Anita to be a disappointment since the only way she'd dangerous is through sex and Edward seems too controlled to be bothered by Anita and her err... powers.

Well, the problem there is we have no idea what OTHER kind of powers she has now. We know that she can control some vampires because she is the uber-powerful necromancer, so she could have an army of vamps and zombies if she really wanted to. She also might have the ability to shape-shift. LKH will find other ways to make Anita dangerous.

Yes Anita used to have those powers but from what the last few books have been like it seems that either these powers have left her to make way for her new sex-fu or Anita has just forgotten about them. Either way she didn't really practice with them which makes them much more ineffective than they could be should Anita ever take the time to actually learn about her powers instead of flying off the cuff.
