“You're a bandit!” she said in a tone that was neither a statement, nor a question

Wow, this is ... bad. I will never understand how people can actually enjoy reading this stuff. I could feel my brain cells die just reading this excerpt

It's really sad how some works get popular only thanks to cheap "scandalous" themes.

The children's book sounds really cute, though :)

Honestly the only enjoyable books I can still renember were Some horror stories made for 12 Year OLd kids. So yeah I'm not a Reliable source.....
Anyway I really like the polish writer andrej sapkowski (probably butcherd his name) because I love his witcher series, what's your opinion on those books?

Yeah, ive probably still a biased opinion because ive finished blood of elves but not much more then that

I mean really - remove all the graphic sexual content, and I'm betting what you'll have left will probably be about the size of a pamphlet.

Sadly, no ;) I've just listed the most offensive parts of those books, but there are several dragging subplots that are too boring to remember, with "clever" political allusions and "philosophical" conversations about gods that don't care and war strategy (presented as if it's supersmart, when in fact it's pathetically bad), and the construction of a nuclear submarine.

Also, Ziemiański has a weird tendency to write lines supposedly shouted by the characters like this:

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!"
or
"Nooooooooo! Shoooooooooooooooooooootttttt!!!!!!"
or (pardon my Polish):
"Kuuuuuuurwaaaaaaaaa! It huuuuuuuurrrtssssss!!!!"

That bloats the books quite a bit, I'd say.

In the sequel, it turns out that the planet is divided along the equator with a giant mountain range. The faptasy land of Achaja is south of that range, which doesn't make sense, because its northern regions were earlier described as colder, as if they were closer to the pole, not to the equator. North of the mountain range, there is an alternative version of Earth (or just Earth's northern hemisphere? I have no idea), with Poland as a military power during the interwar period. Pseudo-Polish army manages to blow a hole through a mountain range and attacks the faptasy land with submarines and napalm. And highly dangerous, highly offensive Tatar units.

Its another cheap titillation, really, but it appeals to a dream of national grandeur instead of sexual desire.

I feel like they watched a bunch of hentai and decided emulate the 'stories' in those. *shudder*

It's certainly not a compliment, whatever the writer believes. I'd say this is something only the creepiest of men would write, but there are both women and otherwise normal men with similar beliefs. It's horribly disrespectful to the actual victims of the actual crime. Sad to say it but I'm sure it's not uncommon for a survivor to get dismissed offhand because he/she is not that attractive and therefore must be lying.

Suffice it to say that attractiveness, flirting, and seductive clothing have less to do with rape than the rapist does.

That first line is kind of blowing my mind here. Can something be neither a question nor a statement?

It sounds like an accusation to me.
