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.

There's the end to the series right there.

I think you should take over and write it--then the torture would be over with. LOL

I actually think you can trace the end of the series further back than OB, but OB was still a decent book. Not the best ABVH book, but decent (though I still hate what she did with Edward, he was a lot cooler as a sociopath than someone with dissociate identities).

I don't want Edward anywhere near Anita at the moment. I'm quite happy everyone's seemed to forgotten he's existed over there. Because even though it's completely out of character, even though the very idea is horrifying, he would probably be attacked by the ardeur like everything else with a penis. And Edward's amazing, but he's still only human....

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.

An in character Edward would almost have to kill Anita if he met her again. She isn't his apprentice, she's more powerful than the monsters and she's dangerous but doesn't actually do anything Edward would consider worthwhile.

But what are the chances Edward's old personality will survive his next appearance in the series? My guess is Edward will love Anita just like everything else in the new books.

*weeps with you*

I wanted to put up LOST posters for Edward. I'm convinced that in OB, we were witnessing Pod-Edward.

It's that, or Edward is now in a non-extradition country, hitting on waitresses and sipping those cocktails with the cute umbrellas in them.

Or going on a killing spree. With Sigmund as his backup.

I live in terror of the day Edward becomes Anita's boytoy...

I'm still laboring under the delusion that all books since OB have been one elaborate nightmare of Edward's and that he'll wake up soon and put us all out of our misery.
