Review of Rafael by Laurell K. Hamilton

Rafael by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I like these quick books focused mainly on a single character and their relationship with Anita.

This was a much-needed break after Sucker Punch (which was the first Anita Blake book I hated). Sucker Punch was a repetitive mess with a horrible ending.

Rafael was a look at a character we've only caught glimpses of before. This book really showcases the King of Rats and the world of the rats including their rules and their magic. It opens the doors to a whole new world of possibilities for the other weres and for Anita who learns how to tap into, yet another set of powers.

This book alludes to events and characters from Obsidian Butterfly and Narcissus in Chains, so you might want a refresher on those two books before diving into this one.

I need an ongoing character list with quick descriptions to keep track of all the people in Anita's life. This has got to be the most character-filled series to ever exist and it gets hard to keep track of whose who.
