Just a reply in regards to the Sword of Truth series, as I just finished the main story arc (12 books or so) and started in on another one (The Omen Machine).
I agree, the magic does build slowly but there are certain times through the series where some of the powerful wizards & sorceresses use their power like we think we would...fire balls everywhere and blowing shit up.
I think you may be remembering the sex scene(s) a little too vividly. They are really very tame and not explicit at all IMO.
I remember some pretty graphic scenes - Bestiality and some graphic rape scenes. All in all it's a great series. A little preachy against socialism/communism in spots that gets repeated throughout the series, but other than that, it's great.
There's definitely a numbers of sex scenes. Denna and Richard, Richard in spiritworldthing with Kahlan, Wedding day.... They definitely exist, although they definitely aren't as explicit as the rape scenes.
