adventurous emotional tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

The ending of this book is deeply upsetting, and not in a way to compels me to read on.

Content Warning & Spoilers

I have never read a book before where the female main character was pro-rape and forced breeding.

I have never been so hurt by an author’s choice before in my life and frankly, I’m shocked and disappointed that SJM would write this.
