Sookie Stackhouse has one last adventure in store.
Life has taken her from a waitress in Merlotte’s Bar, Bon Temps, to part owner; from social outcast to the heart of her community; from a vampire’s girlfriend to the wife of one of the most powerful vampires in the state. She has survived earthquakes, revolutions and attempts on her life. Sookie has endured betrayal, heartbreak and grief . . . and she has emerged a little stronger, and little wiser, every time.
I just can't even. I feel like I need to write something because this was such an awful mess. I loved, nay, was addicted to these books for many years. The last several have been less than stellar. But I figured I would keep reading anyway, hoping that for the last one the author would pull out all the stops, knowing it was the end. But alas, I was mistaken.
I had stayed far away from any spoilers, but I had a hunch of what would happen, and the outcome was less than pleasing. As it turns out, I was right. But more than the ending, the whole book was just a mess. The characters felt like shells of their former selves, or in some cases, not even that. Some characters were changed beyond recognition, and some flat out made no sense being in the book at all.
Basically, I am just disappointed. I had hoped that these books would get a proper send off, but instead I am just feeling like I wasted a lot of time and money becoming invested in this series.
