Everyone always says how much they love this series, but they never mention just how freaking disturbing it is. Like, there's an on-page rape scene (the end of it, but the description is pretty obvious as to what happened) and really dark discussions of past trauma.
There's a violently arophobic passage in the middle that caught me completely off guard. Again, something nobody ever mentions.
I still barely see the main couple's attraction, and I've looking for it because that's all anyone ever seems to talk about when they mention this trilogy. Two books in and there isn't much to go on. I get that it's supposed to be slow burn, but this is almost non-existent burn... At this rate, it would take 2 more books for it to be somewhat believable if they ever get together.
So yeah, it's addictive, but I wouldn't recommend it.
