Narcissus in Chains Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Book 10 Laurell K Hamilton 9780515133875 Books

I love the Anita Blake Series...or at least I did for a while. I miss the mystery the early books had. I'm sick of hearing about what a self-loathing person Richard has become. Her work for the police and for the necromancy firm seems to have basically disappeared and has been replaced by on-going, poorly written, self-loathing sex scenes. I love the scenes from a few of the earlier books, but now it's become a chore for her and she still acts like it's some moral fight constantly. She needs to develope a little bit. her character does not seem to have evolved throughout the series hardly at all, and all the other characters lost all their own will and personalities.
This book in particular did a lot of building with a lot of nitty gritty details as Anita dealt with a plethora of problems, with all of them leading up to a major confrontation where the mystery was solved. However, the mystery never felt front and center in the book, the mystery felt like it was thrown in there as a side "plot" to the more major theme of Anita saving everyone with her uber powers and pointing out how much better she is than everyone else in terms of her "morals". When you finally get to the big finale at the end, everything closes up so fast that it feels like Ms. Hamilton simply got sick of writing this one and just said enough to make it end, then threw together a quick epilogue to quickly tie up all the loose ends she'd made throughout the book. There was a weak grasp at tying a previous character in from a previous book, but it was not developed enough to really work well.
I gave this 3 stars because I do really like these books, and she seems to come more to terms with herself i these than in the past books, BUT I have a feeling this may be the last book I read of this series. I no longer enjoy the direction these books have taken.

Narcissus in Chains Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Book 10 Laurell K Hamilton 9780515133875 Books Reviews

Hamilton weaves a great plot and plot is a big part of any book. Hot, spicy and a real go-around. However, she gets ever deeper into the psychological conundrum(s) of her lovers and friends and sometimes a book can become just a little bit too plot-heavy. It almost threatens even to topple Anita Blake as she is first dragged into and then becomes more and more tired - and I don't blame her! If you are a fan of Anita Blake - and I would buy her next book in a minute - it is all easier by far to follow. I love the way LKH seems to be able to pull off the trick of surprise after surprise from beginning to end of the book. But then, again, she does that in all her books. I am not a fan of S and M and that may be why I backed off a bit from this book because S and M can become deadly without constraints and the "bad boys" in this one are REALLY bad boys and seriously threaten Anita Blake and her lovers, all of whom seem to change a great deal as the stories progress. I loved the book - with SM reservations. Thanks, LKH. READ IT!
Absolutely phenomenal book. Most series lose you as they go on. They fail to evolve and grab you as they once did. Not so with Anita Blake. This series keeps getting better all the time. Seeing character development in even minor characters is an amazing thing. I am stunned by Laurell's ability to mix genres the way she has here and not seem convoluted. A clear progression of multiple plot points, great pacing and awesome action. I am thrilled by her attention to detail with Magic, Vampires and Lycans those subjects are close to home for me, particularly Necromancy and I admire her for honouring it so.
This series breaks my heart. First 10ish books were good to excellent. After that the series goes full erotica and the expense of everything that made the series good.
Honestly I do not understand all the negative reviews I saw for this book. I love the character development in this book. I was getting tired of the Scooby Doo mystery formula of the last couple of books. I even skipped over obsidian butterfly because I got bored. I wanted more romance, more magic, and I am glad Richard has been replaced. Some people have complained about the erotism but think it has always been in her books. This book just pushed Anita to overcome her prudishness and open her mind to new ideas. Bravo!
This book was exciting to read. It was hard to put down until I finished it. I loved the transformation Anita Blake has made from book 1 all the way to this book. Finally my frustration with Richard has been finally come to an end. One lesson I definitely learned that applies directly to me is be who you are and embrace it no matter what. Trying to fight against yourself is a loosing battle. Go Anita Blake for being a strong and exemplary woman. Well done Laurell Hamilton .
