Title: How the mighty have fallen
Product review: Read a paragraph from any of Laurell Hamilton's early work. I just read one from Bloody Bones.There's depth, detail, humor, and more than just a little shiver. You could smell, taste and feel the magical reality of the world she created.Read most of her later work, with Micah being just the latest dreadful (and if paying by the word, waaay overpriced) example - there's exposition, sexposition, and characters who become less interesting with each airing, all set in a world that appears as a static backdrop. After the first three or four Anita Blake books, I vowed I would _never_ miss one. I wish I had broken my vow, most particularly for Micah. If, like me, you loved the edge, style and sheer craft of Hamilton's earlier work, you should check out Kim Harrison or Jim Butcher, or Kelley Armstrong. In fact, you probably already have. What I want to know is what happened to the real Laurell Hamilton, where is she being kept, and when will she return to us??
