Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Orphans of Raspay
I remembered liking this one less than the others in the series, and that proved to be the case on a reread as well. It involves Penric on a ship that’s captured by pirates, where he encounters two little girls (the titular orphans). But like, the whole time they’re about to be sold into slavery (sex slavery, it’s implied, in the case of the little girls) and it’s slow and upsetting. Like, the other books in this series are FUN and FUNNY, this is just “how will we avoid a terrible fate” for basically the whole book.
