The books were incredibly influential on me as a teenager, twenty years later on re-reading the cantos I found some of the specific language around intergenerational romance to be troubling and the focus on it to be a major distraction from the rest of the excellent story.

Praying for his friends and family. RIP

		Imagine Lolita with a future seer twist. The adolescent girl knows she will be lovers with the adult male main character in a future time and teases him by bathing with him among other interactions while she is still an adolescent. It's teased at in the third book and fourth book until finally it's revealed to be a love story with a power ala The Stars My Destination.
