For me, her struggle to keep her humanity against the supernaturals' onslaught was what was so great about the early books.
This is exactly what I liked about the earlier books, and the reason that the last one I read was Narcisuss in Chains. I knew at the end of that book that she was no longer concerned with that struggle; that she was concerned, rather, with people who would love and accept her unconditionally as she was.
And that feels real, to me -- but not what I was interested in.
