| Re: Disturbing "theme" in AFFC
Im not really bothered by the "spicy" material and agree that it lends emotional inpact to the narrative. I do think there has been an overall increase in the "sauciness" as the story has gone on...
I do believe using vile deeds to define the evil characters is a slippery slope, however. With each new greater villain, authors generally have to "up the ante" to convince the reader this new character is even more vile than the previous ones. I think GRRM is a good enough author to avoid that trap ( I hope! ) We already have a charater who rapes and eats underage girls so Im a bit concerned where we might go to from here! |
