So, I’ve been reading this series about a female vampire hunter
who hangs out with vampires, werewolves, wereleopeards, wererats – you name it
and there’s a human who turns into some sort of animal at the full moon – and she
knows them all. Anyway, the heroine, who started off all business with guns blazing
and with I’ll-kill-you-if-you-look-at-me-sideways-attitude and was pretty much
celibate in book one, but now? She is pretty much screwing everyone. Her reasoning, and
I believe it’s one we can all use, is that she had to have sex with someone because
she is basically trying to save the world and make sure all her friends, who
are pretty much male, are safe due to her ability to have sex ad hoc. Yeah, I do understand that. I’m not a slut, I’m a peacemaker, a saviour, a visionary and someone
who should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize purely due to having my body
be made available to all and sundry to thrust out their demons or whatever. Yes.
It makes perfect sense.
Yeah, the series is starting to annoy me. This woman started
out as a tough, no nonsense heroine who was credible in my eyes. I’m not saying
don’t have sex to save the world because we’ve all, I’m sure, done that at some
time. Sex. Orgasm. World saved. It’s a no-brainer. All I’m saying is get off her
and let her go back to being tough and no nonsense. The confused, ‘oh my god why
did I have sex with X, Y and Z not to mention L, M, N and O?’ is wearing thin with the heroine. Yeah, the author is successful and good luck
to her. I’m just disappointed she corrupted the character due to her sex. It makes the character look weak. Give her back her metaphorical balls.
