is finished
Notes:
(1) This ends with two fight scenes, neither of which are set up as much more than to-do list items.
- Maybe I would have cared about the plot to kill Victor if it wasn't just because he's being a jerk.
- Maybe I would have cared about Sandra Pelt as a looming threat if she wasn't just infrequently annoying.
(2) In sum: this fails the What is this about? test.
- Not anything in particular, it turns out.

Notes:
(1) "Dark-skinned vampires undergo an interesting change ... If they were a very dark shade in life, they become a light brown, sort of a milk chocolate. Those who were lighter skinned become a sort of creamy ecru."
- Huh? I wonder if this is how dark-skinned corpses look after they've gone cold?
- Sounds like someone's been busy matching paint swatches... "creamy ecru" is oddly specific for just making it up.

Notes:
(1) "I can't ignore a signed document,” [Eric] said, almost angrily."
- Yeah, it's not a good sign when the heated relationship drama hinges on how binding legal documents are.
(2) The fairy idea of a fun "joke" is impersonating someone in order to fool a human into having sex.
- It's very Greek mythology... this was Zeus' go-to play, if I recall.
- Suddenly, the "Gift Wrap" short story makes a lot more sense.

Notes:
(1) Sookie totally flips out when she finds Alcide naked in her bed. The next chapter, she shows up naked in Bill's bed… he doesn't seem to mind so much.
- I wonder if that's irony, hypocrisy or out-of-context mirroring?
(2) "I was getting pretty damn sick of coping with the huge shawl ... I wondered briefly how Indian women coped..."
- I wonder what "Indian women" she's referring to? Both sorts are plausible.
