Orilium: Ruin of the Skye -read a book featuring supernatural elements

Sve se razrješava i Anita otkriva moći za koje nije ni sanjala da ih ima. A Jean-Claude vrlo pametno mijenja taktiku.
Zadovoljavajuć kraj. :)

Despite their occasional flaws, once upon a time I did sincerely love LKH's Anita Blake series before it took the pornarific turn of latter days that torpedoed any notion of plot, suspense or common sense. And while I've read lots of urban fantasy since I gave up on Hamilton, I have never found a substitute for sociopathic Anita and the alternate universe St. Louis where she works as a corpse animator and state-appointed vampire executioner. I picked this up on a whim from the library and actually Anita Blake works better in graphic format I think than she does in print. Part of this could be because while dialogue was never Hamilton's strongest facet, she could shine in story and atmosphere. The art work was well done and brought the action sequences to life in a new way. The visual at the end of the floral collar hiding Anita's multiple bruises was also hilarious. This book made me reconsider my reluctance to read graphic novels.

This was a lot of fun to read and made me want to re-read the first 7 or so books of the series. It sucks they split what was one paperback into 3 separate graphic novels though. This particular entry is the last third of the book.

I really enjoyed the first few novels in the Anita Blake series, before everything became a love triangle and boring sameness. So having the graphic novels of the first few books is exciting. The graphic novel so far is pretty much just an illustrated version of the novel and that is fantastic. It would be have been annoying if they changed it around. It's fun to have faces to add to the ideas you have in your head of what characters in the book should look like. The illustrations are brilliant & translation from novel to graphic novel is seamless.
