and a lot of the commentary seems to come to down people calling for more group sex and random massive destruction.
But aren't those the best parts of any story?
No.
Then we agree to disagree.
I'm mixed on this. On the one hand, I like the well-drawn, reflective fluffy-bunny bits, where everyone drinks tea and smooches. Then again, I don't know, the odd explosive, possibly multi-perverse (shouldn't Leah have riding reverse cowgirl there?) sadomasochistic-whatever-elven-sexual act does tend to brighten an otherwise drab existence. *sigh* Maybe I should get out more ...
Wow...interesting dichotomy there. Anything that isn't freaky group sex and/or random massive destruction is just fluffy-bunny?
I've liked the fights so far -- what so many seem to be calling for is the obliteration of whole continents.
I thought the "encounter" between Jon and Sarine was well-written and completely within the story -- what so many seem to be calling for is random group sex between character who haven't even met yet, and would often be more likely to try to shove
blades and whatnot into each other.
With a little practice, you can enjoy the cheerfully perverse comments when you wish to and just read around them otherwise.
Which I believe is what Poe does. If he took all of that seriously he would have converted this to a pure porn novel years ago.
