I haven't yet read Caine Black Knife. I just bought Heroes Die from BoB and I'm going to reread it and Blade of Tyshalle before I'll read CBK.
I didn't know about the XUV rating, but I dare say it won't bother me much. The only book that I couldn't really finish because of excessive darkness, if I may call it such, was Empress by Karen Miller. And I don't know why that book set me off. Usually violence (in books) just slide off me, and while sex (in books), IMHO, is usually tasteless, it's no bother. What bothers me more is all those psychological thrillers about serial killers and psychopaths with insight into how their mind works. Can't read those books.
