2 - Yeah well, I guess it is a lot of information to take in at once. >_>

3 - Hah, yeah, I think a lot of the people reading the books find this idea really stupid and don't enjoy what it's doing to Anita's character (she was quite scrupulous regarding sex in the first few books), but it's not as though it's Anita's fault that she needs rampant sex. I think she's dealing quite well over all.

4 - A lot of the language is based on other stuff. The wolves use a lot of Norse mythology and language. All their positions of authority are linked into the norse pantheon. (Where do you do all this RP and can I read it??)

Most libraries have at least _some_ of the series, so if you want to save your money for games, try that.
