The interesting part is... ? Send a noteboard - 28/08/2012 01:39:49 AM
I've heard people rave about this book for years and never been that motivated to read it. Now that I finally have read a less than stellar review(the review was stellar but...yeah you know what I mean)I want to give it a try. Funny how that works.
Oh and my username is what it is because I couldn't think of a better username...I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

Cancer never fights fair. Rest in peace Mrs. Cohen, you will be missed.

Firstly, Camilla is a she. Secondly, though I won't speak for her, regarding the rape in the novels, Ghavrel - 14/08/2012 02:23:19 AM 2319 Views
When does he use rape in an erotic manner? A Deathwatch Guard - 14/08/2012 05:48:59 AM 2172 Views

I for one never saw any of the rapes as erotic imlad - 21/08/2012 05:04:11 PM 2454 Views

How is that a violent rape? At worst it would be statutory rape. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:53:44 AM 2240 Views
The wedding night is statutory. I would describe the later rapes as fairly violent. Camilla - 17/08/2012 12:13:26 PM 2273 Views
That was her only sex scene, until she induces him to have outdoor sex to get pregnant Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:20:09 PM 2264 Views
It is not necessary to provide a scene Camilla - 17/08/2012 10:49:20 PM 2163 Views
I believe that what is happening here is called confirmation bias *NM* Kotagg - 21/08/2012 06:23:38 PM 1211 Views

I think you misread one part Dark Knight - 14/08/2012 04:51:34 PM 2377 Views
I think that the Rhaegar and Lyanna stuff does look like rape in the first book Stephen - 14/08/2012 08:10:27 PM 2168 Views
"Looks like" is this case meaning "explicitly stated to be that way"? Cannoli - 17/08/2012 11:56:48 AM 2122 Views

philippa gregory co-authored a book "the women of the cousins' war" - it was very interesting temeraire - 16/08/2012 07:54:50 PM 2204 Views

I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Werthead - 17/08/2012 12:20:16 AM 2274 Views
Re: I think the TV series handles the problematic Dany/Drogo relationship better Camilla - 17/08/2012 06:40:12 AM 2163 Views
I think it messed it up by showing forced intercourse without the verbal consent Drogo DID obtain Cannoli - 17/08/2012 12:07:14 PM 2224 Views
I still find it difficult to read it as anything other than a coerced consent Stephen - 17/08/2012 01:08:15 PM 2080 Views
A perpetrator-less crime then. Cannoli - 17/08/2012 07:26:26 PM 2214 Views
Exactly! I'm on board, Cannoli. Kotagg - 18/08/2012 07:45:56 PM 2076 Views

Jesus Christ another fucking thread about rape and fantasy. Dan - 19/08/2012 01:47:43 AM 1316 Views
Perhaps if reading other people's views makes you so angry, you should avoid reading them? *NM* snoopcester - 19/08/2012 02:37:03 PM 1147 Views

Huh. I just came to the odd realization... Legolas - 20/08/2012 08:29:56 PM 1197 Views
Don't lock it! Dan - 21/08/2012 05:11:34 AM 1164 Views
Yes, I'm aware, or I might have locked it already. Legolas - 21/08/2012 06:17:29 PM 1033 Views
I'd ask that you do lock it. Stephen - 21/08/2012 10:00:48 PM 1103 Views
