One of the main characters, a beautiful foreigner who grew up on a pig farm, uses sex magic. This is explained logically, is used seriously, and is a major plot driver.
This doesn't stop the authors from having gleeful Beavis and Butthead moments. "Yeah! Yeah! Sex magic!"
Here's a quote:
Shara's father called her a whore the day she left home. After ten years, that was what she remembered most about her parents. She could still hear the hate in her father's voice as he passed his final judgment, could see him scowling in that chicken-scratched yard while her mother stood by, head bowed, saying nothing in Shara's defense.
...
"If I am a whore," she said to herself, "what a magnificent whore I will be."
Compelling surface-level fantasy and the hidden, over-the-top humor.
