You might be misremembering, because F'lar raping Lessa outside of mating flights definitely didn't feel very teen to me...

Like I started reading Dragonflight after coming from Harper Hall and I was not prepared for how disgusting the books treated Lessa (not that Lessa was a particularly sympathetic character, god everyone is awful).

[(Anonymous)]

No, I'm not misremembering. That kind of thing isn't pervasive in the books the way it is in GOT. The rest of the books are definitely more teen, especially once you get out of Dragonflight and Dragonquest. There isn't a lot of sex, and unless it's a mating flight, the sex isn't necessary for the plot. It's easy enough to strip it out and have a family-friendly movie.

I think there is somewhat of a sliding scale of "suitable for teens" and "GoT" but that may just be me=

[(Anonymous)]

I never said there wasn't. But I maintain that the Pern books would make better teen movies than GOT ones. They're dated but that material isn't really the essence of the books. That's dragons.

Okay, it has clearly been a while since I read this, because I don't remember that. I only remember the rape during the mating flight. Which, ugh. Like, stupid writing choice, and also F'lar could have warned Lessa. There was no reason not to tell her. Terrible scene. But I don't remember any rape outside of the mating flights.

[(Anonymous)]

He kept having sex with her after the mating flight, and while she didn't bite and scream or something, she very clearly wasn't into it at all. There was also his recurring thought along the lines of 'rape or not, he would have her' (I don't remember the exact wording, only that it was fucked up. F'lar ain't shit)

[(Anonymous)]

He quite literally said “He had been a considerate and gentle bedmate ever since, but, unless Ramoth and Mnemeth were involved, he might as well call it rape.”

Which is like. What.
