* ValuesDissonance: There are things in the books which are less than savory to many readers since the 60s/70s. Among them: referring to the desert people as "savage" with a rather stereotypical appearance/way of life, the only gay character being not just a rapist but it seems also [[AllGaysArePedophiles conflated with a pedophile]] (as both victims were described as "young") along with negative references to "his kind", the victim blaming of a woman who suffers domestic abuse and sexual harassment perceived as a compliment to the recipient. They might be [[DeliberateValuesDissonance deliberate]] except unlike other things (honor culture) no one in the books criticisms these things nor are they portrayed as wrong in other ways.
