i’d encourage you to use your own deductive reasoning to sort out for yourself whether you agree with your personal partaking in the book or not.īut my opinion, without having any context of the described situation, is this: it’s not grooming since HE’S not the one calling HER to his room every night. I’m not really in the business of trying to moralise books for other people. if you want a more specific take on this scenario, i’d recommend asking about it since she’s actually read it. Hiya nonnie! i have not read this series, though it has been recommended to me on a couple different occasions. Which I don’t know if I can give him credit for since he was interested in a child.Īnyway, sorry for this long ask, but I was just interested in what you or your followers think about this series and especially about the relationship dynamic between the the mc and the Bargainer. And so far it seems like he disappeared seven years ago because he was also romantically interested in her but since she was only sixteen at the time, he decided to wait until she was more appropriately aged. I know they haven’t seen each other in seven years, but the mc is still really hung up on him. I’m not sure if it’s worth continuing for me, because the grooming doesn’t sit right with me. They already kissed once or twice so far (in exchange for a favor), but considering the genre I’m pretty sure there are many more intimate and explicit scenes coming up. He then disappears and they don’t see each other for seven years until he comes back to collect the favors she is owed.

He came and spend time with her every night until a year after the first night she tried to kiss him because of course she fell in love with him. A little later (after she has turned 16) she started calling the Bargainer to her room every night for a year because she was feeling lonely and wanted a friend. The reason I’m conflicted is because the mc and the Bargainer (a mythical and ancient faerie) met for the first time when the mc was 15 because she needed his help. (Slight spoiler for the first quarter of Rhapsodic coming) Hi Em! Have you read the Bargainer series by Laura Thalassa? I recently started Rhapsodic (the first one) and I’m unsure about wheter to continue.
