4.0

This novel was sold as a story of adventure and true love. For 2/3 of the book this really wasn't the case. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I was engaged from the first few chapters.

From the beginning this is a story about abuse and self preservation, and the love story just doesn't make a lot of sense. It's a hard subject, but I found it to be sensitively written for the most part - aside from the slightly odd romance.

Trigger warnings: sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse.
