Slave-Mines of Tormunil

8) Slave-Mines of Tormunil, Aran Ashe, 272 pagesOkay. This is bondage porn. I admit it. But as a writer of bondage porn, I occasionally get the urge to see what’s being done in my field. Some of it is good, but there are, inevitably, horrors in store. Horrors that make me laugh even as I fling the book from me with an exclamation of disgust. ( Read more... )

porn, book reviews, bad reviews

Okay. Um. First - virgin's/love-chain? What? (I'm guessing it's another name for a hymen, but somehow the parallels between that and several pieces of metal linked together escapes me.)

You have now presented me with yet another mound of literary crap that I feel I just have to read. Thank you muchly.

Actually, in the book, it's exactly what it sounds like -- a thin, tight golden chain stretched between piercings in each lip. Theoretically, this prevents anyone from getting much more than a finger in. In actuality, the way it is described, it would not present much of an impediment.

(Ironically, the author makes relatively little mention of actual hymens, which is refreshing in its way, as most fiction of this sort dwells on the most lurid and excruciating 'cherry popping' imaginable.)

Once more, Aran Ashe bends the physics of the human body to his/her will. So mangled are male and female responses that I cannot even judge whether I believe the author to be male or female.

I'm coming down tentatively on male.

OUCHIE.

Yes, my guess is a male as well.

An ugly old single male holed up in a house somewhere out in the country with no means of transportation to the outside world and no chance of ever gettin' any.

I think he might actually have had sex. Once.

The poor sheep.

Next subject of discussion, please?

no no, i have a theory that he was a foreigner, and this book was translated into english for publication - that would explain the TRAGIC grammar and overall use of language "her wet had made her slippy still she felt "
and we all know foreigners are weird when it comes to sex analogies - peed on her? my god.

If it was translated, the translater should be shot.

And peeing is VERY common in these kinds of books (bondage/humiliation). Too bad it's SO not my thing. I still laugh about it, though.

so long as we're kept tittering (love that word lol) all is forgiven.
