Mars4523 posted:How is the trilogy? I checked the Tvtropes page for an impression (I know, I know) and apparently one of the (adult, male) main characters is in a relationship with a nineteen year old girl who looks fifteen, which is a bit of a red flag in the "No seriously, the little girl's actually a 700 year old dragon!" sense. The age difference between them is only three years if I remember right. The male character, Taniel, when we're in his head, thinks of himself as a mature worldy-wise hero, but his actions are those of a hot-headed young guy barely out of his teens who acts without thinking and has a (well-meaning) superiority complex because of his special powers. None of the other characters ever really comment on Pole's age, and I think that her being much older than Taniel thinks she is is meant to be a jab against him - he thinks he's all special and grown up and she's just a kid because he has an over-inflated sense of his own maturity. I don't know anything about McClellan outside of this series though, so I could be wrong. It's kind of like the debate over whether Sanderson's characters are deliberately meant to be unfunny or not, just with creepier potential implications.
