This is definitely one of the best books of the series. Harris finally brings a slick, multi-layered story together with just enough fan service, along with great characterization and even keeps it at only a little over 300 pages. She also holds no punches this time with the series' gritty underbelly - along with the best, its probably the most bleak of all the books. The only flaws I'd say it has is that the villains don't have much character, which I almost didn't miss because the book was already well stocked with drama, but I would've liked a little more resolution in regards to Sookie's seemingly confused fairy relative, Dermot. Otherwise, Harris manages a great, unforgiving addition to the series, that is rewarding despite its darkness.
Oh, I loved it. The saga really took a turn in this book. So good. And the next one doesn't come out until May 2010. ARG!!
This was a good addition to the series. It moved very quickly.
