Look, I should hate this book. I read the first three quarters finding it really long and in need of some editing, and then I read the last quarters - the first book did this to me too. The last quarter is five stars for me. I loved it!
I’m not gonna put this in spoilers because I think it might be useful for some who haven’t read the book yet, the rape depicted in this book are far too graphic me to feel comfortable. A lot of warning should be taken before reading this. I also think it strayed a little bit into victim shaming, and the ableism is a little bit uncomfortable for my liking.
A good book, but you need to know what you’re getting into.
