It was fascinating, but I'm a little sorry I read it as it spoils True Blood. I love it, I do, but I think I like the way the TV Show back threads the characters that I assume are in the later books to make them more prominent now. Reading the book, I kept missing Tara and the more well drawn LaFayette. I am liking the use of multiple perspective in the TV show too, it's ensemble nature. This doesn't mean I didn't like the book, but i really do think the TV Show is benefiting from the chance to look ahead to where its going instead of just behind.
The book winds up the main plot, sure, but leaves a ton of loose ends and doesn't feel finished, as if there was a need to end artificially soon do to page count issues or something. I'm going to keep reading them, of course. They really are like crack.
