  • A Crown of Swords: How NOT to Do Sexual Writing

    This was one of my favorite Wheel of Time books so far. Up until it started getting really rapey and the story became a jumbled mess right at the last second. Now, this is probably my least favorite one of these so far. The Wheel of Time turns and ages come and pass. After breaking…
