SOME SAY LOVE IS A GREAT MOTIVATOR,
BUT HATRED GETS THE JOB DONE, TOO.
Crimson Death is a large book. At just over 700 pages there's a lot that could have been done. Most of the start was faffing and going over things that have already happened. I know Hamilton is trying to make it so you can pick up any book and start reading, but I assume most of her fans have read the books previous. There's so much faffing at the start it could be a novel on it's own, and because of this I feel like the ending was rushed. The actual story was good, and I wish it was more about that.
It's been a while since one of the 'main' characters died. I won't say who here, but it's a shame. Actually, in all honesty there are too many characters anyway, so maybe it's not such a bad thing if a few of them go...
As the story progresses there seems to be more talk around Anita having a baby. At first she's dead set against it, knowing that a baby just would not fit with her lifestyle, but in Crimson Death she seems to be warming to the idea a little more. Will Anita be having a baby soon then?
I feel like this wedding stuff with her and Jean Claude has been going on f. o. r. e. v. e. r. Are they actually going to do it, or is it just gonna be talked about for books on end? I'll be honest, I'm getting a bit fed up with it now.
As you know, I will keep reading these books every so often, until there are no more left. Although she keeps publishing new ones, so who knows when that will be?
