Review: A different take - harsh but soft and well described

As another reviewer has noted there are major inconsistencies in this novel - not the least of which is the fact why would Sara have any idea she would be a regular wife in a community that didn't include anything like that. I don't know but I liked the book quite a lot so I chose to forgive those problems. YMMVI really liked the fact you have a balance of tell and show here - and it is employed very effectively. All the things that happen to Sara are well described so you get a real sense for how the environment is. I thought the sexual tension was done very well - and the punishments were creative. Figging is not something you see a lot of in ageplay or kink and it is very easy to do. Here you do have the stereotypical nanny type situation (something which I'm getting slightly tired of to be honest -- or at least why are there no male nannies?) so the obligatory ff interaction also occurs. The novel has a good length to get into the story and the world. I particularly enjoyed what the community did to "fix one of their own" as it meshed well with my sense of justice. Here, in spite of punishments, the belief is that the women are happiest and love this environment if they are fulfilled. Since, in much of ageplay, orgasm denial is common this was a different and unique take. I couldn't tell this used to be 2 parts - it was well edited into one. Fans of ageplay who like the more romantic elements will enjoy this one!
