Firstly I'd just like to say that yes, I will be reviewing every book in this ever-lengthening series, because there is a difference between them. As usual there are spoilers in this if you haven't yet read the book, so be warned.
For those of you who have read book 4, I'm going to assume you've joined Team Eric, just like I have. For the first three books I could see that although Bill was her first love, the author became quickly bored with the idea of monogamy, as I have previously stated. It was also apparent that Eric was being prepared as his successor, though she did have a few other options.
In this book Eric loses his memory, and Sookie finds him running through the woods near her house. She takes him in and looks after him, while the vamps that work for Eric try to find a way to restore his memory. Sookie, who is already incredibly attracted to Eric, falls for him even more after he loses his memory, and becomes a sweet version of himself. It's completely understandable. The thing with this scenario is that Bill is out of the country for basically the entire book, so she is free to be with Eric without actually having to see Bill. This seemed a little too convenient to me, in fact, the ever increasing lack of Bill in the last two books has seemed a little convenient. Give him a chance! Obviously since Eric is a lot older than Bill he has a lot more going for him in the... experience department, so what with that and his self-confidence he is pretty irresistible. Whereas Bill... well, what makes him better than Eric in any way? Maybe it's the fact that he isn't always sure of himself, and he's not perfect. Regardless, he is slowly being pushed out of the picture, and I can't really see him returning.
