2.0

Took me a while to get into, was very very confused for about 2/3 of the way (which could be blamed on me starting this book while I was running a fever but ah well). Would have given 3 stars but it's a minus one because there's no TW at the start of the book, and it does contain an explicit r*pe scene.

I want to give the first two thirds of the book one star and the last third 4 stars so i’m just going with four stars.

would probably not recommend this book to anyone. 

there are 3 rape/SA scenes that I really don’t think needed to be in there because they did nothing for the long term plot. the pacing was so slow in the beginning and nothing made sense and i wasn’t sure what i wasn’t supposed to know and kept thinking i forgetting things i needed to know (i wasn’t lol), the character development was severely lacking in the first two thirds. it was like nothing happened for 300 pages and then it was finally good in the last third and i want to read the next book because i liked the last third and i hope book two can just be the good parts of this book. maybe now that i know the world it will be? i hope?
