In the end the misogyny got to me. Every single female character in this book exists solely to advance the male lead's rise to heroism. Competent women become damsels just so he can prove his moral superiority over the men that hurt them. Mass rape is used to reinforce the villainy of the protagonist's 'road not taken' counterpart and allow him to save the day in a way that just came across as distasteful and cheap. As soon as sexual violence enters the picture, supposedly super-humanly strong and intelligent female characters become helpless victims until saved by the male protagonist - naturally the male characters are never presented as potential targets of the same kind of violence. DNF'd at that point.

I don’t know if I will continue with the series due to the violence and sexual assault content that was featured in this first book. I especially didn’t care for the overall tones of forgiveness and understanding that we’re given to the more violent and dangerous characters in the book.
