Title: I don't think this book was worth the read...
Review: If I had to recommend Laurell K. Hamilton's novels to a friend -- I would definitely steer them towards her earlier work. I found this book to be too Anne Ricean (you know -- stream of consciousness writing, poor editing and a cast of thousands). The many gratuitous sex scenes are monotonous and uninteresting (they seem to be tacked on just to fill pages) and there appears to be little or no plot -- creating an unwieldy and excessively long novel.Hamilton used to be an innovative and amusing writer -- with good character development and plots that involved the reader. Her stories were filled with snappy dialogue, fun twists and turns and nice characterizations -- in short, they were cleverly written and never boring. Unfortunately, I can't say that about her books now -- she seems to have lost her way. A once good author, I hope she goes back to her earlier style of writing.
