I know most people do, but I kind of feel for him. ![]() I cheered when he said, "Her name was Aud." Fuck yes.Īnother Charlaine Harris marker: the old cliché of villains speechifying their entire plans and explaining all the loose ends of the plot to Sookie. Okay, so he is a troll and not a vampire, but still. I almost forgot to note, and Harris may have done this on purpose because Eric does watch Buffy in the fourth book: his wife's name was Aude!

I have high hopes for these two, which I have a feeling Harris will shortly destroy, because people can't be happy in relationships in these books. ![]() Okay, the Eric-Sookie-nookie was pretty outstanding, and their relationship talk was a good one - Eric not being overbearing, always wanting to listen to Sookie and give her what he can. She handled the outing of the weres pretty well.

Thomas De Quincey had expressed the attitude of the age when he wrote: "'Woman, sister, there are some things which you do not execute as well as your brother, man no, nor ever will. The arrival of Elizabeth Barrett on the poetic scene created special problems, for critics of this age were convinced that full poetic power simply could not exist in a woman. A poetess was particularly dependent on good reviews, for even a single bad review could damn her work to an undeserved obscurity. Yet no author, least of all a poet, could afford to alienate the critics totally, for critics were the shapers of the Victorian audience they were the gateway to that audience. These lines from Aurora Leigh express Elizabeth Barrett's determination to remain true to a personal vision of her poetic art regardless of the critical response.
