I was in my late teens and I thought the first couple of them had potential but... It did not take very long before they really kind of sucked. Just a diffrent excuse to tell you why women really wanted to be slaves. It was kind of like, yeah yeah, you put this out for 3/4 of the pages in each book, get on with some story. I gave up after four or five of them and was sorry I had wasted that much time on them.
