In book 5, I felt Harris had taken away from Sookie's character. She had left her more cynical and cranky. In book #6 it seems Sookie is back. The problems I had with the story was that one of the main points in the book was Sookie going to her cousin Hadley's apartment to take care of her things since her passing. When going through all of the explaining on Hadley's death and how Sookie came to be guardian of her stuff, I felt confused. I wondered if I was in a daze in reading the last book because I could not remember anything about that. Turns out (after reading other reviews) that all this info is in a short story that Harris produced seperately. I had no idea! Even without that information, I was able to follow along and keep going. I just wish I would have been made aware of the short story before hand. I am also starting to feel that there is a lot of flip flopping and wonder if there is an actual ending to this series. There are some series that last forever but they are also going somewhere and the ending is satisfying even though you might want more. Then there are some series that really have no where to go and keep going on and on and on. You finally just give up on them. I am hoping that this is not the case. I will be sticking with this series for a while because it is fun. I just hope it is worth the ride at the end.
