his fetishes are showing and it's creeping me out, seriously
Oh, ugh. I really hated that in the first book (thank goodness there wasn't much) and I am Not Happy that there's more of it.
And it will remind me why I enjoy YA fantasy so much more than supposedly "adult" fantasy these days -- not least because it has a tendency to weed out these kinds of excesses.
Amen.
Robin McKinley's Sunshine, which I am reading because, well, it's McKinley -- although I am really not into vampires (they don't scare me, they don't fascinate me, on the whole they simply bore me), so my enthusiasm is somewhat diluted;
I also am really not into vampires either, but I also read it because it was McKinley, and don't worry, it's good. I'm not sure it's on the read-again pile, but it was a page-turner.
