I've realized that one of the things that annoys me a little about Laurall K. Hamilton's writing style is that she uses the exact same phrases to describe things every time. It gets a little dull, no matter how interesting the scene itself is.

In the Anita Blake books, her boss for the police stuff, how he doesn't say goodbye on the phone? That is like three times in EVERY BOOK. And her descriptions of Edward liking to kill monsters because humans weren't challenging enough? Makes me want to run screaming. However, I do enjoy reading them when I need a mindless vampire story...

I haven't read many of the Anita Blake books, but the Merry Gentry books have been good brain candy for while I'm working.

Hamilton makes these wonderful worlds, and she tries to tell good stories, but she is not a technicallly good writer.
