Artemis Awakening by Jane Lindskold
3.0
This world and concept is super cool, which is why this gets two and a half stars. Unfortunately I found the insta-love/lust and forced love triangle really annoying and unnecessary.
**SPOILERS**
Also when we find out all the disturbing stuff that is going on, the protagonist is so blasé about it that he basically forgets about it and then there is a point where he essentially victim blames the woman that told him about her kidnapping and rape and is like maybe she actually wanted it and changed her mind??? I have zero patience for that kind of toxicity. Also this man is so horny that he gets off while pretending to have sex with one of the kidnapped women. It is hard to root for this guy.
Such a cool world with cool potential though. Such a shame.
