I’m not sure if it seems contradictory that someone who loves Kate MacLean and Sebastian and Helen Raven and a host of other, well, relatively hardboiled fics as much as I do should be so fond of something as sweet and fantastic (in the sense of removed from reality) as The Hunting, but I do.
In fact, I think The Hunting is Jane at her absolute best. Of course, if you dislike Jane, it’s probably Jane at her absolute worst too. It’s self-indulgent, it’s repetitive, its expositiony, a lot of the dialog is lame, there’s too much time spent on other characters (and tiresome other characters at that). But it’s also enormously imaginative, shamelessly romantic, sexy and just incredibly fun.
If you can overlook the part about…er…Ray being an elf.
( well, not exactly... )
