I liked this book in the sense that the plot and conflict is very interesting. I also love the world/9 realms created. I also found myself somewhat liking the characters though very flawed.
I did NOT however like the very graphic forms of sexual assault/rape/abuse described in this book. I don’t necessarily understand the reason to graphically explain that kind of thing. I feel that part could have been done a little less explicitly because like the explanations are so overly done…like we get it. It doesn’t have to be forcefully stamped in my mind what is going on in that regard. So I skimmed all that crap because tis unnecessary.
Other than the overexplaining I like the plot and world building. I am hoping for better character development as well.
