Thank goodness! This final installment was so much better than the last 3 books. I was almost ready to give up on my heroine after the last book, but I am glad I stuck it out to see where Sook ended up. Harris did a much more seamless job of weaving in characters from the past 12 books that we would actually care to learn about, rather than simply throwing meaningless side characters at the reader left and right for no apparent reason, as done in books 11 and 12. Here, she brought back those characters that we would be happy to check in with for a final time, such as Amelia, Quinn, Mr Cataliades, Diantha, Barry, etc. It was also a cool suprise to have Steve Newlin back in the fold as a baddie. Significantly less suprnatural elements in this book it seemed like, especially since she was not dealing with the shifter packs or vamp politics (much) and the fairies were isolated to Faery. I was sad to see she did not end up with Eric, but I thought it made long-term sense that he would continue his vampy power-grabs and she would end up with someone more on her level. Overall, a good wrap-up on Sookie's life! Maybe this will mean no one else tries to kill her :)
