3.75
Honestly cannot bring myself to give it a 4 star rating when I was utterly confused about where this story was going for more than half of its entirety.
I am giving it a 3.75 stars because the ending was better than I thought it would be. I really wish the best for the characters involved, but man it's so sad that there's so much drama and trauma for the main characters. It's truly such a difficult read in the topics that they focus on, including sexual assault and so much political intrigue. Even murder and kidnapping. Just so much happened in this book and I'm like overwhelmed. I still barely know who's who in this book, but I do appreciate Addam.
TW: detailed description of sexual assault, attempted murder, murder, and kidnapping.
