On what page would this scene be? I would be fine with my younger kid reading this if I were to block that scene out.
it's somewhere near the beginning of the second half IIRC, I won't post what part, as to not give away who,/when/where, etc -- but, also would add - it is NOT explicit - I think there was one line referencing penetration, but it was very much not graphic.
IMO (obviously you know your kids better) - if they know what sex is, it would not be something I would sensor - if they don't know what sex is, I am assuming they are young enough that they probably are not old enough to appreciate the complexity in this book either.
Annette - Thanks for taking time to write a thoughtful and thorough response to the question - kind of you!
There's actually two, but the first is so softly implied that you could be forgiven for not noticing. Such is Paolini's respect of an act that isn't inherently dirty, and isn't treated as such in either of its instances.
