So this was good-ish, but I did have major issues with it. The pacing felt a bit off to me but that was the least of it.

The waterfall scene where one of the mmc’s rapes the fmc, the kidnapping and rape scenes, the death of lorn and fucking mmc sebian were so unnecessary! Add to that that the fmc rapes the mmc right back and forces her view on how to deal with trauma on him was not okay, and

the more I think about it the angrier I get. I still sort of enjoyed reading this book though, even when reflecting on the big problems this book had so I might read more from this author.
