aurislothol 's review for:
The Sapphire Rose
by David Eddings
DID NOT FINISH
giving up on this book. For good.
Srsly, what is wrong with male (fantasy) authors?
Women are only portrayed as virgins, mothers, bitches or whores/temptress? Nothing else?
And this was the final straw, where I gave up on this specific book (by David Eddings, written in the late 80s, early 90s.) Mind you, the girl was 8 years old:
"I saw some of the looks she used to throw your way when she was a little girl. You're in for an interesting time."
graaaaaaawr. Sure, 8 year old trying to seduce 25y olds. SURE. SURE. FUCK THIS BOOK. Why do men have to suggest that little girls are temptresses (like in the book Lolita - pedophile, nothing else, no excuses)? This is so wrong and I want to burn this book.
Narf narf narf, over and out. Reading Jacqueline Carey now because her books are the best.
