Let me start with the good: The first 50% of this book (what used to be book 1 in the population series) is amazing. Easily the best fantasy romance/paranormal romance/alien romance I've ever read. EASILY. The scene is set: a dark dystopia, pacific northwest, think of Cormac's The Road or The Walking Dead (sans zombies), gritty, survivalist, hard; the characters are charming: independent, fierce, capable, out for revenge main character, allies with strong silent type; the love is natural: trials bring them together, chemistry builds, love and trust blossom, together they face the cruelties of this new world. The writing is pristine, amaze.
Jump to 51%: eeeeeyikes. let me say, I did not see a single trigger warning for this book but there is definitely a sex scene in this which the main character does not consent to in advance. So what basically happens is,
So ultimately, I am just very conflicted about this book because the first half was so amazing (and also I just really love the writing) and the second half was so... not. Anyways, eep, I mostly came here to warn about the noncon scene.
