[QUOTE=rcentros;4445338]I read enough of one of them to know it was porn. Seeing that the author, Maas, used the the phrase "between her legs" several times, I did a search in Calibre. It showed up over 20 times in one book. That was enough for me. (This was in her book A Court of Silver Flames.)

Have you read any of these books?[QUOTE]

I have read them. Not just skimmed them for "smut".

Hmmm... first incident of "between her legs". Her companion is massaging her legs after her first day spent in the saddle with his hands against her ankles.

The other incidents? Much less smut than Lot futtering his daughters and I won't even get into the Song of Solomon.

And that's the problem. Pushing these sexually explicit books into public school libraries.
You think Sarah J. Maas' books are explicit? ROTFLMAO.

One of my sidelines for several years has been cleaning up books for publication. Compared to the average romance these days, Sarah J. Maas is not even in the running. Yes, they are not the science fiction of the "Golden Years" but neither are they "smut".

I would not want to find them in an elementary or middle school library. OTOH, in a high school library? I doubt that many of the grade 10 to 12 students are going to learn much that they are not already aware of from Sarah J. Maas' books.
