This book was written well enough and had a lot of potential. I liked it less as I kept reading it though, most of the characters grated on me quite a bit. I'm a sucker for meaningful bonds between characters and there just wasn't any of that here.

Its okay, but it didn’t grab my attention as some of the other books I’ve read this year. Will I read the rest of the series? Yes. Is it going to become a favourite? I doubt it.

A short note regarding the sexual violence:

It is attempted, but not successful.
