I was going to give it three stars, but in the end I just couldn't. Was this even related to the previous 12 books? It's like it barely took them into consideration. And god what a cop out for final romance plus uneventful and just boring. The only good thing about this book is the gay talk at the end. Scratch that. I was originally amuse, but holy crap was that homophobic as hell. 
 (view spoiler)[Sam? Just eww eww eww. Sookie ends up with her brother/dad. Eww. Maybe if the relationship had at least been worked at in oh, I don't know, the previous TWELVE books in the series. Then maybe it would not have been so awkward and eww. At least it wasn't Eric, but then again, that may have been more relevant and that's saying a lot from me because I hate Eric, he's such a selfish jerk, oh wait according to Sookie he's 'practical' for tricking her into marrying him, biting her multiple times without asking and-oh yeah-planning to turn her against her will, but that's just practical while Bill is always to never be forgiven for being ordered to seduce her at first. Didn't matter that he loved her honestly and proved it over and over. 
 And Claude? Way to take an interesting character and just make him a cliche villain. (hide spoiler)] 
 I kinda feel like I wasted my time this past nine years reading this series. At least I stopped buying it when I discovered the library. 
 And yet I'll probably still read the compilation or whatever. 
 I'm done.
