Israfela What's the oddest part of a story you read? Mine was just recently in Stone of Tears

Margret Probably when I attempted to read Kushiels Dart. I won't mention what was in that scene as it was... Well let's just say someone was showing the MC around an S&M house lol

This may not be the oddest, but it's defiantly the creepiest. In The Obsidian Mountain Trilogy (I don't remember which book) it talked a bout a female demon literally sucking the life out of some poor soul. For those who read this I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The way it was written gave me the willies and still does.

Is it bad that this comment made me add the first book to my To-read list? I kind of like books with demons and magic themes intertwined. Soul-sucking willies aside, the reviews seemed good

No, it's not bad. I rather enjoyed this trilogy. This is one of the better books written by Lackey. But, the next trilogy....not so good. Believe the cash cow was being milked way past when it should have been.

From that series it would have to be pretty weird to count ass odd.

I guess so...I've read some reviews on the series since joining Goodreads and it might be the norm apparently...

I remember that scene. I felt like I needed a 10-hour shower in hot water and bleach after I read it. Yuck. I put the book down and vowed to never read another word by that author.

Otherwise, there's the (view spoiler) in Hundred Thousand Kingdoms and the (view spoiler) in The Wise Man's Fear. Neither of them are anywhere near as nasty as the scene mentioned in the OP, but they still left me going Wait, wut?

I must confess, I didn't know what the Stone of Tears was till I looked it up and now I understand. I quit this series after Wizard's First Rule. I guess I'm a wimp because I don't like anything involving pain. At least not the kind that's describe in The Sword of Truth series.

I enjoyed Wizard's First Rule so I am reading Stone of Tears kind of as a back-bone (like in-between the books I decide to read) but it really does start to get kind of weird sometimes. Like the gorey-weird random rapeyness kind of appears more and more. I mean, I'm pretty okay with reading stuff like that. Not like I'd get disgusted or offended..It's just a lot of it seems to be random. So if you didn't like what I described, I would not recommend Sword of Truth series..

K.S. Saddlemaking chapter from Eragon...

Elise (ghostgurl) | 1028 comments I seem to remember a weird scene happening in Greatshadow, but that's about all I can really say because I don't really remember. Much of that book is over the top actually, but highly entertaining.
