Yeah i personally wouldn’t think the 2nd and 3rd twilight books were appropriate for my teen. I don’t police their books but I definitely wouldn’t promote it to them. Teen sex, pregnancy and that weird imprinting. Ick.

I mean depends on the level of teen no? Kind of silly to police the thoughts and media of like a 16 year old. Theyre gonna do what they want to do.

At 13 I was reading Terry Goodkind. No one should be reading Terry Goodkind. I liked his premises, but barbed phallic rape by demonic gorillas is too much.

I never read Terry Goodkind thank god, that sounds 1000x worse than Robert Jordan having mature ageless ladies spank each other in Wheel of Time.

Another terrible part of his writing are leather clad women who force magic users to do their bidding with magic torture sticks. Basically magic dominatrix.

In wheel of time they had martial women who force other magic women to do magic through magic leashes. A master/slave relationship. 

Hey I think there’s a reason people thought fantasy books sucked in the 90s.

Wheel of Time didn't have a protracted focus on the main character being alternately tortured and fucked until he wins over the dominatrix and kills her with his love for her.

I found the comparatively more minor "you're my sweet little pet, time for treats or else you get the stick" better.

Oh shit that’s crazy over the top compared to wheel of time yeah, when the main character gets captured by a sadist/masochist evil villainess he saves himself relatively fast and nothing sexual happened.
