In the world in which this story takes place, it is common for noblemen to rape poorer women and then have them executed so they will not bear children. We don’t ever read about it as it’s happening, but it is discussed several times for the purpose of showing the evil in the empire.

This is the first book in a while that genuinely made me cry and have to stop reading for a bit before I could continue. It took me a while to get back into the book from a hiatus, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down. I love Vin and her found family so much.
