I was recommended this book on the promise of intrigue, suspense, and complex storytelling. What I got was ecclesiastical bickering, bland descriptions of sex that often went on for multiple pages, and multiple unnecessary rape scenes. Do not bother with this one.
Graphic: Rape, Torture, Sexual violence, Sexual assault, and Sexual content
