3.0

I cannot in good faith recommend this book. While I really enjoyed the first half of the book and the love story unfolding, the rest of it bounced from one batshit insane plot point to the other. It was also about 500 pages too long. There were some highlights and lovely parts, sweet conversations etc, but also far too much torture porn and GRAPHIC medical content for me to in good faith say I enjoyed any of the second half of the book. I will not be continuing to read this series

Full of adventure.
Mild sex scenes become a focus about a quarter of the way in.
