Now that hurt...
I read the eighth and ninth books of The Southern Vampire Mysteries today. I've never read the ninth one. That book was just devastating. I now understand why that books has so many mixed reviews. I didn't care for Crystal at all, but I adored Claudine and Dawson. It sucks that she killed two characters that were on my favorites list. She also destroyed Quinn's character to the point that even I understand the hate.
I'm still one of the few people who would prefer Sookie ends up with Sam out of all her male suitors. I adore Eric, but I just can't see her living the rest of her life with a vampire, if she isn't made a vampire. I do believe Charlaine Harris was being truthful when she said a couple years ago that Sookie wouldn't end up with Bill or a vampire. At one point in the series I would have loved for her to end up with Alcide if she couldn't end up with Sam, but she destroyed his character to the point that I don't even want to see him again. I guess I really don't care who Sookie ends up with as long as she's happy.
She killed Sophie-Anne in the eighth book. I adored Sophie-Anne! I know I shouldn't like her because of the whole her being responsible for Bill's big betrayal, but I loved. I respected the hell out of her.
Sookie and Eric are married according to vampire law. I really don't know how to feel about that one.
I just don't know what to think of that last book. I never pictured the torture and other shit that happened in this book would happen in the series. I'm glad she spared us the actual torture of Sookie, but at the same time some part of me is pissed that she did. I guess I'm a little sick, right? I don't know what to think about the way the book ended with Sookie and Eric being together. I really thought for a minute there she was going to kill Bill, and I was actually upset. I think if she had killed him after we lost Dawson and Claudine both that I would have walked away from the series because there was just too much death in this book. Arlene was willing to help Sookie be crucified. Literally, crucified! I don't think I'll ever be able to look at show Arlene the same way again. I couldn't believe the Weres revealed themselves. I didn't see that one coming for another three or four books! I hurt for Amelia because she clearly cared for Dawson. Gosh, this book just hurt! Really, really hurt. I was actually in tears by the end of it. It sucked. This book just didn't have any of the usual lightheartedness that the other books had. I'm actually on the fence on whether I want to read the next book when it comes out!
