I really liked the first two MG books. I thought it was a fun 'verse and then nothing happened with Sholto and I gave up. No tentacle sex? No, thanks!

Seriously, I think I got to the fourth book and sex had become a chore. Booooring!

Same thing with AB. The sex is necessary because people will die if she doesn't. They both have had their free will removed and I don't find that entertaining in the slightest.
