encgolsen 's review for:

Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
2.0

Oh, Sookie. It used to be so much fun to read about your adventures. Sure, terrible things happened and bad guys were after you, but you also had excitement and joy and lots of romance. The past two books have been a slow slog, frustrating and unsatisfying (I'm choosing my words deliberately here, people.) At least this final book puts us all out of our misery. Of course I'm not entirely happy about who Sookie ended up romantically involved with at the end, but at least it sort of makes sense. Personally, I kind of wish the series had ended with Dead to the World--now that was the kind of delightful escapist entertainment I'm looking for when I pick up one of these books. Farewell, Sookie. It was way past time for this to end.
