Interesting story with compelling characters. The betrayal ‘twist’ didn’t really surprise me, but I don’t really care since the other elements were so good! It does have the start of YA love triangle nonsense, but hopefully that won’t play out too much in later books.
Graphic: Physical abuse, Slavery, Violence, and Sexual harassment
Moderate: Sexual assault and Injury/Injury detail
