The most interesting part of this story for me was Warrick Farkosh and the Hal al Haz prisoners, and even in that we dont get enough of it. That was a great opportunity to expand the world and world building. I wouldve liked to know more about the people /beings in it. I think a better ending point of this book wouldve been them successfully breaking out of prison. I also feel like the parts that were sexy, or attempting to be/convey her desire for Warrick were SO POORLY TIMED. instead of being intrigued they just made me feel uncomfortable.
Moderate: Violence and Murder
Minor: War and Police brutality

The gratuitous misogyny and abuse: It felt like the author just piled it on for the sake of piling it on. So edgy. Very sharp. I could be "fine" with it if the abuse was a demonstration of rock bottom for our main character, but as soon as she finds herself on better footing, she laments that corsets are worse torture than the death camp she just experienced. You're telling me I read 200+ pages of violence at the far end of the spectrum expecting it to hold some sort of impact/value to the character (trauma, rock bottom, etc) only to be told in levity that the main character thinks corsets are worse? What was the point of making me read sexual assault every eight pages if it wasn't going to pay off or affect the character in some way?
"I had worn dresses with bodice tops- they were worse than any torture device [the death camp] could think up"
Fuck out of my face with that nonsense.
