plsnotanotherdamselindistress's review against another edition
After reading like 20 pages I could see the plottwist coming and neither the first nor the actual love interest are likeable characters...not because they may be morally grey just because they are so dull (and kinda creepy?).
And while I am wishing for the fMC to simply use her brain a bit more at least I can understand why how she acts is very frustrating as she is traumatized and the seclusion has hindered a lot of mental growth.
(But it is also kind of creepy that because of the hindered development she still in some ways is a lot like a child but is really sexualized...)

The narration style would have been grating but I hadn't read anything written that way in a long time, so instead of being annoying it helped place me into the character's perspective, as it was meant to.

Also, I don't know if it was because I haven't read fantasy-type books since I was in grade school, but it was kind of hard to visualize some of the settings in their world.
And I can't help but confess that I'm curious about the Aaron Warner hype that has been circling the internet and that has become the centerpiece of this series. Because of what I've been reading so far I couldn't imagine how things could turn around.

If you like this good for you I guess but frankly I will just never understand you guys that are absolute fiends for this series. Good for you, but I’ll stick with my Brando Sando books for now.
Update after attempting to continue the series: I got fed up with the writing style and didn’t like a single character. Quit midway through Unravel Me. No hate to those who actually like this series- just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Moderate: Abandonment and Kidnapping
Minor: Sexual assault
