Yeah, the explanation about the YA part of it makes sense. And definitely I got the "product of her environment" and her fifteen-year-old ignorance is evident in spades.
YEAH. The hero's relationship with the young warrior priest just knocked me on my keester at the very end of the book, I was like WHEN did that happen? Did I miss that? And I go back and see nothing, but... goodness... It was definitely more mature, and more based on who they are.
Neat that your son read them. I think I'll go through the whole series (one of the reasons I'm less than discriminatory with my reading is that I read fast enough it's not a huge investment of time), and it was popular enough that part of my brain wants to see why. There's enough of the exotic without her taking it so far that she'd lose people the way I think I sometimes lose folk with some of the nuances of my detailing.
