I'm really wanting to get my hands on this, but omg I'm kind of nervous. What if she's no good at smut?!

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

Some of her word choices had me going a little, "Eeehhhh..." But it's not so bad!

[tonko-ni.livejournal.com]

That can always be a YMMV thing, and smut has a lot of that, so I'll keep that in mind when I finally get my copy. It's just weird because if I don't think her smut is good enough I'll feel embarrassed on her behalf, or something. ::is weird::

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely, she just used a few I wasn't familiar with outside of Penthouse or non-fandom erotica (particularly the one het piece, as I don't usually read het erotica so it was like, "Wait, that's actually a word people use? o_O"). Body part words are pretty much always YMMV though, but that was really the only problem I had. But I'm forgiving, so I hope you enjoy it too!

[serenity-winner.livejournal.com]

Oh good I thought I was the only one. XD

I liked reading the character bits, but I honestly could have done without the sex! Am I weird? Not to say all her sexy bits are bad or anything, I enjoy some of them quite a lot, but I think some things are better left implied.

That said, I really enjoyed the book :)

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the sex was one of the things I was most looking forward to! XD;

I don't need to have sex to enjoy a story at all, but given how much of an established couple Alec and Seregil are, how it's obvious that they're intimate, I personally wanted to see just a little glimpse into it, which I thought she did quite nicely considering she hadn't been comfortable writing it.

It's definitely a YMMV thing and doesn't turn me off from the books at all (by NOT being there, I mean), but it's like...a little extra spice I like having and was glad she attempted it and didn't fail hard :)

[serenity-winner.livejournal.com]

Yeah I thought theirs was pretty sweet <3 I guess it was mostly Alec's parents that weirded me out a little? I think it was just the terms she used, fantasy novel terms tend to make me go "bwuh?" haha. I loved the het stuff she did in the Tamir books, though, so idk!

[fencer-x.livejournal.com]

Haha oh god, I read the guy/guy stuff fine (though when it started in on Seregil's first time I was like, "WHOA WHAT?" because I'd just finished rereading the third book, so that put a whooooole different spin on it) on the train to work, but when it got to Alec's parents it was like...so weird XD Maybe because I hadn't read het stuff in a long time, maybe because it was Alec's PARENTS and it felt like reading porn about my own parents, maybe it was just the really...well, you hit it on the head: fantasy novel terms. I just had to put it away til I got home XD;;

Other than feeling a little awkward with bits like that, though, I thought it was a good read overall, if a little too damn short XD (also I was really kind of thrown by the random insinuation in the preview snippet that Seregil hid stuff up his ass XD;;;)

[tonko-ni.livejournal.com]

That does sound like a good sign to me! Thank you!
