DNF of Age of Misadventure. Another author goes down the present tense black hole.
Now reading Nevernight by Jay Christoff
Which brings up a question that came up in another less appropriate thread. What are people's feelings about what I would describe as graphic porn in novels that are not sold as erotica?
I mean the book is about a young girl who goes to learn to be an assassin. It's a fantasy world and a political plot, but also inter-relationships among the other acolytes. Fair enough that a romance would come into it, but a blow-by-blow description of a sexual encounter that was obviously written by a man blindsided me halfway through. I don't want to read that!
It's something that comes into a lot of modern books and I really thing they should come with a warning.
