Silver Angel\\xa0by Johanna Lindsey is evidently a book about a troll doll with boobs.\\xa0 There are, let\'s see.\\xa0 Twins.\\xa0 Harems.\\xa0 Corsairs.\\xa0 A public fight about pubic waxing.\\xa0 Assassins.\\xa0 Eunuchs.\\xa0 Poisonings.\\xa0 A vizier.

As usual, you\'re definitely going to want to get a vintage copy with an older cover.\\xa0 What is it with these publishers reissuing these with the worst covers?

The trigger warnings on this are... complicated.\\xa0 There is\\xa0no\\xa0sexual assault actually happening in this book, surprisingly.\\xa0 (I did forget - there is one of those gross virginity test scenes.)\\xa0 But there is a lot of\\xa0talk\\xa0about it, a lot of it\\xa0has\\xa0happened in other places, there are a lot of\\xa0threats, and it\'s just a general atmosphere of sexual fear.\\xa0 There\'s also... lord I don\'t know how to describe it, there\'s some... it\'s kink shaming and a deeply disturbing failure to understand the psychology of sexual violence and it\'s all very weird and upsetting.
