The world building in this story is great. I’d love to know more about how this world unfolds but I just can’t get past the bullying. It was so unrelenting and it never felt like there was a break. I disliked every character in this story. I also could suspend my disbelief enough go believe that the twins would be sexually attracted to their abusers. I just can’t.

There is a lot of coercion and where the main characters are forced to do things they don’t want to. They are harassed and bullied.
