Damn,now I'm actually tempted to re-read these. I'd say I'm wary they won't hold up to my nostalgia goggled memories but I was aware even when reading them for the first time that it was tropes cheesy kitsch. Which was okay I guess (except for the "rape as a dramatic plot point" which was kind of unnecessary), just not sure if I want to read it again.

I tried re-reading them 10 years later and they don't hold up as well. the tropes are painfully obvious and yeah the rape as plot point sucks. the second book is the best because the lead being gay isn't the entire point of the plot, it's just sort of in the background (though using him to drive an implied pedo subline is not...cool).

UGH WORD that FUCKING scene. I reread these books recently, and they weren't bad (some, uh, some very eighties views on sexuality, denial of bisexuality, and some Very Weird assumptions about gay people), but that fucking scene was exactly as bad as I remembered.

I got you. In Magic's Price, chapter 17, Vanyel and Stefan are ambushed by bandits and Stefan runs off into the woods. STOP READING THERE- all you need to know is that Vanyel is tortured and Stefan and Yfandes save him, then they spend a lot of time healing. Start up again in chapter 19.
