Show_not_tell

Why didn't Sookie ever acknowledge that Bill had raped her? Isn't it important to show that "no means no", even if you know the rapist?

Have you ever read the criticism that the last book was illogical (e.g. a villain wishing for the location of an object that might grant a grant a wish when he could just use the wish he had to wish) and broken world rules(e.g. fae suddenly dying from bullets and not turning to dust)? Isn't that different than just not liking what you did with your characters?

What about those that say your proclaimed message of diversity changed to one of segregation and "stick to your own kind"?

I loved the first 9 SVM books, but I wondered why Sookie never came to realize her telepathy was a gift and not a disability? Also, why didn't she recognize her fae heritage as being important and celebrate it along with her human side? She seemed really passive and withdrawn at the end--why did she end weaker instead of stronger?
