5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful tale of sexual intrigue and exploration,
By Seth Armstrong (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sex Rites: An Erotic Sci-Fi Novel (Paperback)
"Sex Rites" explores beyond the traditional science fiction genre with a genuine saga of gay sexual adventure, very much in the style of Philip Jose Farmer. This is such an arousing story that a brief review can hardly do justice to the well crafted new character. Dannel is an incredible sensual stud who was sold by his greedy parents at a very young age to a cult to become one of their enslaved guardians of ancients secrets.Thane is on the run from the Zamindar's relentless pursuers, after thwarting the tyrannical ruler's chance for immortality. Having narrowly prevented destruction of the Lyceum, a community of mages that use sex magic, Sorrel and Nicolai have sent the ever playful Skorri and his skilled companion Erik to assist in Thane and Ander's escape. As a result, we are treated to a sexually filled adventure into new lands of ancient secrets. The reader is given the opportunity to more fully understand why Skorri and Erik are so highly regarded at the Lyceum for their particular skills and legendary horny nature. This was a fine tale to conclude the series and especially fun to see some new ideas of sexual intrigue and exploration. On my first reading, I didn't fully appreciate the attention to the sexual and cultural details that Brandon Fox manages to weave into the story. This is not a novel to race through just to get from one sex scene to the next. "Sex Rites" is well thought out gay science fiction that will leave you feeling good and pondering things beyond the scope of simple pleasures. A fine novel to read more than once.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Sex, romance and a real plot!,
By A Customer

This review is from: Sex Rites: An Erotic Sci-Fi Novel (Paperback)
This novel is very erotic like the first two in the series, and the emotional bonds between the characters are just as strong. Several characters from the first two books continue a colorful story of adventure and sex magic, plus there is a new character named Dannel. Dannel is a great character, full of problems and frustrations as well as hope and nobility. I really liked a surprise plot twist that puts the whole trilogy in a new light. This installment takes place in a different setting than the first two books, which made for good variety. As for drawbacks, I wish the book was longer! It's a full-length story, but I wanted to spend more time with the characters. The ending is very dramatic and powerful and leaves you wanting more. I cared about the characters, which for me is the mark of a good book.

Heroic adventure + eroticism,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sex Rites: An Erotic Sci-Fi Novel (Paperback)
This book includes passionate erotic encounters, like the other novels in the series, but really it's an adventure focusing on the travails and growth of the characters. Some people might not like the sexual content of these books, but it's in keeping with the "sex magic" premise and occurs between characters with deep emotional bonds - the erotic scenes show lovemaking rather than just getting off. The characters make this series, more than the sex. The story is satisfying because the characters show heroism and growth.
