Literally everything Sara Douglass ever wrote. She was my first proper adult fantasy author and I reread her compulsively as a teen, but WOW, those books are Fucked Up. Especially Threshhold. One day, I’m gonna have to do a piece about it because it’s really That Bad.https://twitter.com/Metafrantic/status/1228729273118318593 …

Wasn’t there also incest aplenty in some of her books? I got into one of her trilogies until the Robert jordaning got too much for me

Oh yeah, the Icarii in the Axis and Wayfarer trilogies are all about that. Outside of parent/child or full siblings, it’s open season.

I remember a scene where the protagonist’s grandma hit on him and I was like “nope” Tho at the time I was more annoyed by the obvious prophesy that would take 1000 pages to be fulfilled
