poloniousmonk reviewed Maia by Richard Adams
An underrated treasure
5 stars
It was too sexually unapologetic for its time. Basically GoT, but faux fantasy and seen through the eyes of a lusty lass sold into sex slavery. It covers all the taboos of the time, falls prey to the Black-Warrior-Woman trope, is incredibly labyrinthine in its politics, and I would put it head and shoulders above Martin. And I like Martin.
