Here in Fair Game, Charles and Anna have matured in their relationship. They have, in many ways become more confident in each other. In this book Charles is struggling with his role in the werewolf world, as enforcer. This story picks up a few years after the last book. The werewolves are out and all the political issues that are a part of that swirl around in the plot. In many ways it was a good move to jump ahead. It gave some depth to the story that would have maybe been boring if we had to follow along as they figure things out in their relationship. In many way, Anna is the strong one here in this book. The years have given her confidence in herself and in her relationship and her role as Omega. However, throughout this whole series Anna's Omega status seems a little bit of a red herring. I like the idea but it seems to be played up as important when I get the feeling that it kind of isn't as important as Briggs keeps telling us it is. Show, don't tell. When it really counts Anna doesn't seem to use her supposedly awesome power to help herself. If is so awesome it seem it should do something when the chips are down. But all that said, Charles' struggles have made her his champion rather than the reverse. She really does have power but it is the power of a woman in love defending her man and fighting for a relationship.
