Disturbing how exactly...? (It's okay if you don't want to recall it. I have no intention of traumatising you all over again.)
While I do think 14 is too young, the fact is that it happens. Why shouldn't a novel deal with that? (Of course, it does matter a great deal how the novel handled it.) I mean, as far as I know most readers of A Song of Ice and Fire don't approve of incest, but it doesn't stop them from the reading the novels.
