"... but barbarians grow up faster than civilized folk."
Ten pages later:
"Don't be a child."
This is a book that revels in tearing down the convenient lies the narrator tells about herself, and this is a wonderfully satisfying, and rare, thing to read.

Sex is funny, but I'm not so sure that was the intended moral here.

For me at this point, the author has gone all-in with the Arameri/not-Arameri dichotomy. If blood tells, and Yeine ends up as much a self-interested, manipulative, magnificent bastard as the rest of them, the payoff is enormous. If her actions support her self-proclaimed status as a good person, everything to this point seems wasted.

Hypothetically, let's say you had a subordinate. And let's say that, again hypothetically, you probably had the power to sic a mad god of chaos on this subordinate. Finally, let's suppose that you came onto this subordinate. Would you be at all shocked if that subordinate was a bit lackluster in their attentions to you?

I can sympathize with a character who finds sexual tension to be sexier than actual sex, but this still feels like not-very-sexy sex.
