However, all those descriptions are rather vague and the books are nowhere near the realm of erotica.

In addition to references to both consensual and non-consensual sex, the books contain several rather gruesome, bloody scenes and descriptions of torture. I can recommend The Empress of Bright Moon 1-2 as a worthy read but if you are sensitive to the aforementioned content, I would advice you to skip this one... Hope this helped!(less)
