Sookie is back--and the cover is awesome! This is the book I've been waiting for all year...so did Ms. Harris do it again? Or is Sookie going the way of Anita Blake?I have to admit I read some reviews online before I started the book (I needed to know if my expectations were going to be met!). The reviews were really mixed, the main complaint was that the novel didn't have one main cohesive story to tie everything together. I can see where the reviews were coming from, but I felt like after the last novel's explosive events Sookie needed a break from mayhem and madness. Not to say there aren't some deaths–there are–but I felt like we were getting back to the heart of Sookie, along with easing the readers into her and Eric's relationship.
The novel also did a great job of setting up the next book, which is sure to have a lot of game-changing events.
It was just so nice to be in Sookie's world again and find out what's been going on with the characters I've come to love. There's a great side-story about Bill and another about Sookie's nephew, that could have easily turned into a "jump the shark" moment, but managed to make sense.
Was it worth the read?
Yes, of course. Ten books into the series and Sookie is still Sookie, a great feat for any writer, and a real reading treat!
