</I felt the horrific brutality of the cliffhanger was not in service of the plot or character development but will be happy to be proven wrong in the next installment. It just felt repetitive. Aelin has suffered! She has demonstrated feeling worthless and willing to sacrifice herself for her loved ones and Kingdom. I did not need this characterization graphically depicted AGAIN./>

I have never read a book before where the female main character was pro-rape and forced breeding.Moderate: Sexual assault
The FMC uses her position to manipulate and sexually abuse her friends and family. She orders one character to rape and forcibly breed another.kat1105's review against another edition
