It's great to see this transformation unfold and I have enjoyed this series so far because of that along with the social and moral conflicts that abound in this world. I'm looking forward to your review on <i>Dead to Worst.</i> I was a bit annoyed with Sookie’s many admirers but in a way, I see what you’re saying about her admirers being the catalyst for her blossoming into this strong young woman.

I'll be interested to see how, as you continue on with the series, you find the relationship developments. Readers have complained about the men around Sookie, but they do often catalyze Sookie's emotional growth and reflect the ethical and moral complexity Harris is negotiating in these novels. There is never a gain without a loss, no unqualified good, and that's something I both love and fear about the series. I hope you keep reading and reviewing these; your insights are really interesting.

One day I'll sit down to read them and wonder what took me so long. Great reveiw as always, Keishon. I have several of these books in my tbr pile in an unpacked box somewhere in the basement.

When she travels, the narrative becomes full of her observations about the new environment, etc., and the pacing becomes a little unbalanced. IMO.
