Aussie Book Club discussion

I thought that Captive Prince was really really good but it's important to note that it's also quite intense. If you're triggered by things like sexual violence and abuse you should probably steer clear, later books address this less and are easier to read but there is a definite rape aspect to CP.

I echo what Elspeth has said above. My coblogger has read and enjoyed the series, but it's quite confronting in it's sexual content for younger readers I've heard and the issue of trigger warnings as well. It's great that readers have a choice of either book to read this month, that way there's something for everyone.

Adding my two cents here, it's also the first in a trilogy so there is a lot of world building and background. To be honest, when I first read it I found it a bit of a struggle. If you can handle the *ahem* hard to swallow parts of the book, then I do suggest pushing through because books 2 and 3 are brilliant.

I plan on reading it this month, when I finish with my current reads. I'm expecting a bit of info dumping being a fantasy (in more ways than one it seems #seewhatididthere), but have seen nothing but glowing reviews and from readers who would generally shy away from books that are sexually graphic. You know it's an incredible series when it draws readers out of their usual comfort zones.
