The obscuration of a book like this being literal porn is, I think, the point. My wife and I interact with a lot of religious girls, being near a religious university. She has had this book recommended to her by otherwise pious girls, who could probably recite a screed again porn videos, but don't see the connection between that and what they do with their books.

Which is to say, the shell games with words was supereffective against naive women in particular, and by the time they might realize it they're too much of a femgooner to be honest with themselves. I hope Maas rots in hell for the insidiousness of what she created.

Wow, I had no idea this was the content of the book my ex was reading. I shelled out a lot of money for a custom Etsy laser engraved Stanley cup themed after this book series. This whole time I thought it was just Narnia for women. I was swindled…

I could go on about the neuroticism of my Taylor Swift loving, BookTok, therapy speak ex-girlfriend, but ultimately I’m happy I came to the realization about who and what she was before I put a ring on it. Thank God.
