About this deal

A bit of SPOILER here. I do NOT like books that contain rape. I just don't feel like many authors get it right and it disturbs me. Feist doesn't do a very good job with it either. At one point the daughter is raped by... a bad faeirie. But it was sloppily and disturbingly written. Like it was just pushed into the book for effect. I DID like how the family reacted, it was a good concern for their daughter. Cranstoun, James (July 5, 1893). Satirical Poems of the Time of the Reformation. Society. p. 320– via Internet Archive.

For example, Hart has written:

I did have a few issues, though. The pace was a bit slow as the author built tension. However, instead of continuing to build and escalate, the tension plateaued and remained steady. My other main issue is that throughout the novel I was never emotionally engaged. I never connected to the characters, which meant that I was never as caught up with the events as I’d like. This might be explained by seeing folktales of this type as representing a surviving pagan belief system of the afterlife. This afterlife did not follow the strictures of Christianity or other world religions, and provided an alternative view of what happens to consciousness after death. It is a view that was (in the West) superseded by Christian theology, but that may be surfacing in these folktales as remnants of the previous system of belief (a belief system that remained partially intact but operated underground for fear of religious persecution).Hartland, Edwin Sidney, The Science of Fairy Tales: An Inquiry into Fairy Mythology (The Walter Scott Publishing Co., 1914) Bottrell, William.

My own problems, however, were threefold; first, I really don't like fantasy and it's my firm belief that this will be my last book to fit into that category. I came to believe that this one would tilt more in the "horror"-direction and it did in parts and all should have been well with that if it wasn't for problem two; mythology and mythological creatures. Some are, when treated by a good writer, very good horror characters. Others,
