Query: Hackneyed and Ill Conceived

I agree with the previous reviewer. The characters are one dimensional. The evil people are purely evil, no one is a shade of grey, everything is done in black and white.One of the saddest, most pathetic things I ever saw was what the main female character had to do to become a woman. At the age of 16, she, like all Sunrunners, must have sex in the dark with a strange man she has never met, thereby losing her virginity. Doesn't this author know having sex does not make you a woman? What kind of message is she trying to convey to young girls? You are not a woman until you have sex and it may as well be with a stranger if you are not yet in love with someone you know. I thought it was sick.
