This took me a while to get through. Overall, I enjoyed it! I do feel that it could have used a trigger warning when it comes to a few of the scenes.

This was an enjoyable book. Not sure why it was chosen for the romance book club but hte subplot of the romance is quite compelling. I liked the world building and characterization. Overall a stong book but I kept comparing it to her later work which I like much better unfortunately.
