The Warded Man

Listened to the Graphic Audio variant. I did not finish it as its obsession with childrens sexuality, and its use of rape as the only character trait of a female background characters, was simply too uncomfortable and ruined it.

A fun read, the long character introductions serve well in anchoring the reader emotionally. The drawback is that the actual story only gets started about two thirds of the way in. I expect, therefore, the sequel to be better paced, and will definitely check it out in future.

I could have done without the rape, though.
