Narcissus in chains by Laurell K Hamilton (rant, nor review)
(thank God that I didnt pay for it..... so not going my hard earned money on that .... trash)
Plot:
Plot? What? Plot?
Anita Blake killed (let me count)... 3 pack leaders (they were evil, sadistic, mad. all of them) in town and that made her -> Human Servant of the new Master of the City, Lupa for the werewolf clan and Nimir Raj for wereleopards.... (you can speak about the conflict of interestes). That means she has to care of them. Mostly saving them from evil sadistic ones. And using for that her super duper skillz.
Thats all I can say about plot. XD
Characters:
Anita Blake is your next door MARY SUE. In full mode. (If Bella from Twatlight was fluffy one, this one is harsh and dark one. Without the sparkles of course). Talks about clothing (her or the others it didnt matter), weapons (she talks more about them than she is using them), and her boyfriends (she is very possessive bitch, she have ... say 3or4 of them, but when one of the poor neglected boys wants to have fun with someone other than she, she is going balistic)
Main points why I dislike this .... this thing:
*When you spot trouble, you can count that she will save the day with her power (which are - necromancery, succubus powers, chitchat with powerful vamp evil bitch, and sharing her soul with another evil bitch). Count on it. And maybe she will gain more of them. Juchuu. I cant wait till that.
*Desription of everyone. Detailed. If it is male she wants to fuck, than very detailed. And of course, everyone is soooooooooooo beautiful and strong, and muscled and lean. But hey, they dont have sparkles. Thank God for small mercy. So I began to skip all the description parts and that left me with the picture of Draco Malfoy as Narcissus in lacy dress. (I soooooooo need to scrubb my brain from that image). And you will get your brain full of clothing. When she dedicated one (1!!!) page only on describing cloths of ppl who shared the same breathing space I nearly eyerolled. Was that really such important information which helped me to create picture of their characters? NO. She only needed filled space. Btw, she loves to decribe her underthings. Always.
*Dialogues - really LOL. Like in Twatlight. You can only think - how old is she in reality? (By Twat - I would say 12 old girl. And by Anita I would say too, but the D/s and torture themes make me say at least 25years old woman)
*Trying to scare reader by the torture. Sorry sweety, it is not scarry only really disgusting.
*Anita loves to rip thru her own thought, dislikes naked human body (lol. she is prude.lol)
*And mainly she becomes something more and more super duper wow great mate. Maybe she will end like most of the pack leaders. Someone will put her down like rabbid dog (and all of her harem boys would have happy romp orgy. TogetherXD) But she would come back with her super duper powers of necromancy, lust calling .... cant really remember them all.
PS: some of her titles changed in this book - she is still Human Servat, but has his own Vamp Servant now, still is Nimir Ra(j), but lost her position as Lupa and became Bol....soemthing (cos Richard gave her boot. In the book and in reality too)
PS: I got some more from her books. When I am feeling that I can stomach bad written dialogues and characters and too many clothes description, I will do it. Maybe.
All typos are mine.
