What the fans are complaining about is that the Anita Blake series didn't start that way. Even when Anita became involved with two of the male characters, the sexual aspects were still not graphically depicted and not the majority of the pages of the book. Due to a metaphysical plot development several books ago, the sexual content escalated until there was one book that was almost nothing but graphic sex. That particular book, I was to the point where I was thinking, "Put your pants back on and go do something else!" By the way, my friend, Tori, did quit reading when things got graphic.
In the earlier books, Laurell was known for what she herself describes as "no-sex sex." The first Merry Gentry book contains a scene which contains nothing that would be described as sexual contact -- but that scene curled my toes!
BTW, Nightseer was your basic conventional fantasy novel. Adequate, but nothing special...
