Spoiler
1.The first guy is still lying to her when they have sex and later the lines of consent with the second love intrest are blury. Its basically bind yourself to me or die and then he makes her uncomfortable by forcing her to wear little clothing in front of others, drugs her, and touches her afterwards for several nights for months! And she doesn't fully hate him for it because he could have abused his position against her worse. And he sorta admits to her the reason he didn't go further with her sexually was because he didnt want to fight with that first guy (not because that would have be wrong). Both men in the book made me feel icky for how they treated the main female character and the relationship dynamics felt toxic> 2. The main character is forced to murder innocents at the endzc2's review against another edition

Spoiler
~"he was merciless" but he spared you which is mercifulSpoiler
says her name twice in a convo, on the third time she says ~"so he remembered my name" but he already said it twice? Main character drives me crazy, feels so pathetic how she'sSpoiler
slave to her toxic family and continues to worry and help them even though her father said never return clearly so he can be "taken care of" long termSpoiler
. Reading this just infuriated me and not in a passionate way, in an annoyed, "why would I waste time on this" way. A shame too because I loved Throne of Glass!Graphic: Death of parent, Toxic friendship, Emotional abuse, Toxic relationship, and Domestic abuse
