Not for Young Adult readers
Still a good story, and while the author handles the sex artfully and with good taste, it still seems bolted on after the fact. The tale is enjoyable, one of the most interesting in modern fantasy I have read in a long time, and at this point I understand the author can't stop using it without changing so much. And I'm no prude, it just seems to fail to gel with the rest of the story. I will be buying the 3rd story to see how the tale ends, but in future work I recommend this truly talented author either work the sex in better or use less.
