I wanted to love the books so badly. I watch my husband play the games and we both enjoyed the Netflix show. Tried reading The Last Wish and refused to read another word after the author decided that describing a 14 year old girls breasts was important enough to include in the story.

Wait, what are you referring to? I just read the book and have no recollection of something like that.

Chapter 1, part 7: Immediately after the striga reverts back to her human self.

“She was rather ugly. Slim with small pointed breasts, and dirty.”

I think "Refusing to read another word" of the story may have been a slight overreaction as its definitely not sexualizing her, but if it was something that really bothered you then what can I do.
