Silver Angel by Johanna Lindsey is evidently a book about a troll doll with boobs. There are, let's see. Twins. Harems. Corsairs. A public fight about pubic waxing. Assassins. Eunuchs. Poisonings. A vizier.
As usual, you're definitely going to want to get a vintage copy with an older cover. What is it with these publishers reissuing these with the worst covers?
The trigger warnings on this are... complicated. There is no sexual assault actually happening in this book, surprisingly. (I did forget - there is one of those gross virginity test scenes.) But there is a lot of talk about it, a lot of it has happened in other places, there are a lot of threats, and it's just a general atmosphere of sexual fear. 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.
