5.0
This is an incredibly powerful story based on the author's real life kidnapping and assault. In it, the author takes control of her own story. The author becomes the creator, representing The Universe in tarot. I love that she took her power back.
This novella was difficult to get through. There are graphic details of SA that the author doesn't shy away from. This made me feel physically sick at some points.
Given the graphic nature of the story, I can't recommend this to everyone. Check trigger warnings and make sure you're mentally prepared if you decide to read this.
While I can't say this was an enjoyable read, I can say that it had a powerful message.
I hope that writing this story helped the author heal from the trauma of the past.
