mxemma's review against another edition
I have only left maybe 3 negative reviews ever, I usually can't be bothered to spend the time, but this is going to be one of them. I kept trying, hoping that the characters were being set up to mature and grow as people, but it wasn't happening, and I finally checked other reviews to learn it was never going to.
This book is wildly misogynistic, sickeningly homophobic, and just plain badly written. The male lead is possessive and has no concept of boundaries or respect for women as human beings with thoughts and rights of their own. Every man who isn't a red-blooded asshole panting to become a soldier is framed as a "pansy," not a "real man," and is repeatedly described in the most dehumanizing terms. I'll pass on anything else by this author.
