I would have loved this book for it's beautiful and intricate Worldbuilding,  but the ending was ruined by [TW: SA]

an abysmal portrayal of SA. Specifically the sole female mc is raped and then falls "in love" with the guy she meet immediatly after the SA and has at most known him for a couple of days.
