I felt like it was a return to self after the self exploration she did with the Seraphim books, and of course, the Christ biographies.

This is the way I looked at the Wolf books, too- her easing back in to secular & supernatural fiction. She was dipping her toes back in the water, hence the books are a bit shaky with somewhat one dimensional characters. But like you, it's the setting of the books that really drew me in and kept my attention. I wouldn't rate them as great by any means, but they are enjoyable enough.

Anne has remarked before about how divided her fans are by her own genres, and how most do not cross pollinate- wolves, angels, vampires, witches, etc. I have a pretty big cross section of her books, but the only ones that have ever called to me were her witch novels. That's the series I wish she would spend some time with again. But then again, maybe not- the story was tied up pretty neatly at the end of Taltos, and I didn't like what she did with the Mayfairs in Blood Canticle.
