Virgin Slave, Barbarian King

I want you to read all the posts about Louise Allen's Virgin Slave, Barbarian King.

Here is the link to the original piece by Julie Bindel that started the whole debate.
Here is a link to the Harlequin page of the novel.
Here is a link to the first discussion on TMT about Bindel's article.
Here is a link to my discussion of happy endings and the hero's moral education.
Here is the link to the main TMT post that links to all the other analyses and reviews. Read all the analyses and at least the reviews from both Sarah and Candy at Smart Bitches, Jane and Jayne at Dear Author, and one other.
Here is a link to a TMT post deliberating about the difference between review and literary analysis.

And then comment here about what you think about everything! ;)
