I really didn't enjoy this book, especially due to its tone. It was so boring and had so much sexism. Women were essentially 'slaves' and were property of men. Most of the time I had no idea what was going on and none of the characters were that likeable.

This book would have been better if a little faster paced. Story was intriguing but very *very* dark.
