Gross, abuse in Estrella's childhood is repeated by Caelum, who gives nonce vibes, calling her "little one", feeding her, treating her like a child. He pushes her boundaries, consent is shakey and not able be be withdrawn. 
Her fierce independence and hate of life being controlled by men all disappears when she becomes involved with him.
Plot was slow and the reveal was obvious. 
This book made me very angry but I will be reading the second.
Do not recommend.
