Ardeur: 14 Writers on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series by Laurell K. Hamilton
5.0
Thrilled with the author forewords for each essay, and the multi-faceted insight the book gave me for the overarching character development. And development it is, not the super slut slide as bandied about on many of the book reviews. Shocked by some revelations (Olaf has a fan group? and they want Anita & Olaf to date?!)
I've read the first four to six books countless times, and still recommend them in heavy rotation to friends looking for a new read. Anita will always be my first,favorite, true kick-ass heroine. Her weapons knowledge alone would earn her that status. That she starts with a rigid worldview and moral compass guiding her and learns to embrace many shades of grey which eventually give her a home life and relationships she didn't think she'd ever want, deserve or could emotionally manage.
Reinvigorated to read the series. My curiosity and *need* to read the next book in the series is reinvigorated.
