I had a lot of mixed feelings throughout this, but this book did have me wrapped around its little finger at one point, and I must give credit where credit is due. I didn't appreciate some of the tropes, but not because of the way the author wrote them, I just don't inherently appreciate those tropes. Also, since we're seeing most of the story through Alexis' perspective, it was tough to know how reliable she was since she was also being tortured/starved throughout her trials.
