“Elene gasped and sat up. "Kylar Thaddeus Stern!"
Kylar giggled. "Thaddeus? That's a good one. I knew a Thaddeus once."
"So did I. He was a blind idiot."
"Really?" Kylar said, his eyes dancing. "The one I knew was famous for his gigantic-"
"Kylar!" Elene interrupted, motioning toward Uly.
"His gigantic what?" Uly asked.
"Now you did it." Elene said, "His gigantic what, Kyler?"
"Feet. And you know what they say about big feet." He winked lasciviously at Elene.
"What?" Uly asked.
"Big Shoes," Kylar said.”

this series is trash

why do i enjoy it

Did you enjoy it and do you know of some similar works? Doesn't have to be from Brent Weeks.

I had a bunch of random horror books sitting around the house when I was younger, Dracula, Goosebumps, a lot of R.L Stine all throughout elementary school (and A Series of Unfortunate Events). I got to school in fourth grade and went to the library and started rummaging around for horror books to no avail. I asked the librarian "where are all the horror books?" she replied "Oh, we got rid of them so first and second graders wouldn't get scared." The true horror was the look on my face. It's foggy, but I don't remember replying (per usual for my autistic self) and most likely promptly walked away. Then I bought these books and within the first 50 pages there was some dude on dude rape, thankfully, the main character kills the dude-raper.
The moral of the story is just tell the second graders "you need a permission slip for that book :)" or fourth graders will experience dude rape second hand.
