Welcome to another edition of Feature & Follow Friday brought to you by Parajunkee's View
& Alison Can Read.
This weeks question is:
Question: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then "broke up with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
My answer: Not just yes, but hell yes! I fell in love with the Anita Blake series from the first book onward. I loved her interaction with Jean Claude and the fact that she was a vampire slaying necromancer. THEN, of course, it became all about the ardeur and I lost all respect for the series. Yes, yes, I am a prude when it comes to having a character sleep with several dozen men, and women, at the same time. I probably won't ever read another book in the series. However, in case I do, I want to state for the record that I will borrow it from the library before I will spend any of my hard earned money!
My runner up's are: Otto from the Disillusionist series; Donovan Caine from the Elemental Assassin series; Nina LaShay from the Underworld Detection Agency.
I am absolutely interested in what you have to say about my answer as well as learning
more about yours!

ReplyDeleteI am like one of the only people I know that has NOT read Anita Blake series. I am always so iffy I want to read it or not.lol
ReplyDeleteGood call on Anita. I almost used Otto, but I never liked him to begin with, lol!
ReplyDeleteYeah - my answer was long, but I get all carried away talking about my most hated characters!

WOW! This is definitely a popular answer for this week! I have never read any of Anita Blake's books but I understand what you're saying and would imagine I would feel much the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Ha!! I never liked Otto so I couldn't pick him, lol. I also haven't read Anita Blake yet!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I'm a new GFC Follower! I completely agree that the Anita Blake has been going downhill.
ReplyDeleteOtto, Otto, Otto...I can't say I "broke up" with him because I NEVER liked him!!!

Anita topped my list as well. I'm not a prude, but if I want sex for sex's sake I'll read erotica. Keep it out of my urban fantasy, please. Old follower! My Follow
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series either!!

My FF: What I Read Yesterday
Great minds think a like ;)
ReplyDeleteCANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE! Ugh. I heard Laurel K. Hamilton talk once and she's such a kick ass lady - and these books are so hard to believe that they are coming from her. I just find it hard to believe! :( Quality has went way way way downhill!
ReplyDeleteHappy Follow Friday!
I gave up on the series around book 3. If I wanted porn without plot, I'd read fan fiction.
ReplyDeleteNew GFC Follower. My FF.
Anita is popular this week, I haven't read this series.

I didn't even know she slept with many people at the same time. o.ô *sigh* I really don't know if I want to read the books. I mean, so many people are disappointed.. But that means that the first books were probably brilliant. c_c

DITTO!!! I loved Anita and Jean-Claude!!! Then I stopped at book 8 because of horrible Richard! I read spoilers and heard about the "ardeur" and was like WTF! I will never read another book. In my mind it ended with Anita and JC HEA!
