![]() ![]() If you write about that it goes in the romance genre? Is that why? Shouldn't we have examples of this kind of healthy relationship for people to read? Shouldn't healthy, happy sex be prevalent in books as the norm? Not rape, not gratuitous violent sex! Why does sex go in the romance section and the rape get to stay out of the shelves for us to read?Īnd the casual, dismissive attitude by the Fairy characters of this book made me furious. WHY is it okay to be descriptive of rape in books and to actually give a full account of what happens (or at least, close to) but loving, consensual, normal sex is not okay. ![]() WHY?! Fuck if I know! I've read this so often in so many books. Fade to black the moment they enter the bedroom with only a passing comment that she had a moment of fear that was passed when lovingly consoled. Yet when it comes to consensual, loving sex - nothing. We are treated to the terrible acts committed against Sorcha and it's rather graphic at moments. I found myself so COMPLETELY annoyed with Daughter of the Forest though I really enjoyed the book. ![]() There are actually many, many enjoyable elements to this book and I promise to get to them in a moment. I gave this book four stars so obviously I did enjoy it. ***Warning**** Mention of rape and discussion of such follows. ![]()
