I was wondering if any of you Sookie/Eric fans will purchase the Coda book from Charliane Harris when it is released? I know I will not be purchasing it. I read many reviews on B&N, Amazon, and other sources the negative reviews they gave the last book. I agreed with one reviewer in particular, because she discussed CH's lack of interest in writing the last four books. Each book was failing the elements I fell in love with in the first four books.
SPOILERS AHEAD: If you have not read the book don't read this chapter.
I felt like the last book was not really told in Sookie's point of view. There were too many villains and lose ends that Charliane was trying to end. I seriously thought it was ridiculous that Amelia's father was behind all the bad things that were happening to Sookie in the last and FINAL book.
I felt as if I wasted years and money in this world that ended horribly! I know I sound like I am ranting but whatever you can bad review this chapter. I felt as if Charliane Harris built Eric's character for nothing, and ended their relationship as if it was meaningless. Like the last nine books I imagined a romance between Eric and Sookie. As if Eric never saved Sookie's life, was never there for her, or married the dumb bitch?
I knew CH was going to pair Sookie and Sam together. It was obvious from last book. I did not expect Sookie to sleep with Sam immediately after her break up with Eric. I wish I did not buy the Kindle version because at least I would have something to throw against the wall. I will be updating my story soon. I know some of you have thought Eric to be OOC bc he was flirting with Freyda, but he has bigger plans. He has made a pact with Stan from Texas and he has too follow through with his word. I know one reviewer said why can't Eric just kill them in their office and avoid all this trouble? I do not think Eric would have done such a thing without backup. I think Eric and his people would probably not have come out of it alive. Eric flirting with Freyda is not sickening when you have a role to play. I might be hated by Eric/Sookie fans, but I don't think Freyda was the BAD guy in the story. She wanted Eric to be her consort, but CH had Eric and Sookie's relationship on the rocks in the last three books. The previous book the sex scene between them was badly written, and it was like two seals attempting to mate in a pool of oil. She did not write much passion between them, and maybe she was trying to make it clear to the reader that it was not a romantic series but a thriller/criminal series. I have mixed thoughts about the series now, and I have read that CH felt it was her characters and she could have done whatever she pleased with them, but I DISAGREE. Even though I am writing a fanfic; I want to write things that people will want to read. CH you may have created the characters but you captivated us and kept us hooked into this world that you created. We kept buying your books because we wanted more! I wanted more of Eric and Sookie! When she shared her works with the world, your characters no longer belonged to just you, it belong to every fan. Every fan who bought and read your works. Okay, I am done ranting ! You may review this or share your thoughts and feelings about how you felt about the closing of the books. Any feedback you can provide I will take into consideration for this fanfic!
In closing statements, I will update ASAP.
