reviewed Ardeur: 14 Writers on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series on April 04, 2010 Ardeur: 14 Writers on the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series
After recently finishing Flirt, and while waiting for Bullet, I found Ardeur to take the edge off of my Anita Blake craving. With 18 books chronicling Anita Blake's adventures as a vampire executioner/necromancer/succubus, it was nice to read something that reflects on the series and all that it accomplishes.
Ardeur includes 14 essays on a variety of subjects, all pertaining to the Anita Blake universe. Everything from how the ardeur has helped Anita to develop and overcome personal boundaries, to lack of racial diversity among vampire characters, to how the series is helping our culture to heal its hang-ups on sexuality is explored. Each essay is also introduced by Laurell K. Hamilton herself, revealing background to the Anita Blake series as well as experiences in Hamilton's personal life that subconsciously made their way into the stories.
One essay that stands out particularly to me is "Bon Rapports" by Marella Sands, a member of Hamilton's writing group. According to Sands, Hamilton had determined at the beginning of the series that Anita was to never, ever have explicit sex--"No sex on stage" as she says. Her essay also explores the lack of good words available in English for writing sex scenes. Something I had never thought on, but about which she makes a great point!
Overall, an eye-opening and interesting read that makes you think twice about how Hamilton and Anita Blake have changed an entire genre.
