Did not finish book. Stopped at 9%.

Possibly the worst thing I have read. Are we supposed to like these characters? The main character is whiny, filthy, and not like other girls. The Dragon is an unlikable asshole. They're supposed to have a relationship??? She is a kidnapped 17 year old! Wtf! It is also EXTREMELY physical violent??? Why??? It is in the first-person so I just feel scared for her! This isn't romantic it is fear! EW!

Content Warnings

Graphic: Confinement, Misogyny, Physical abuse, Toxic relationship, Violence, Vomit, Kidnapping

Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Slavery, Trafficking, Sexual harassment

Minor: Bullying, Rape

Main character often grabbed or pulled using force. Unconsentual casting of magic (leaves main character feeling exhausted and violated). A LOT of discussion over how dirty the main character is. I did not get to the point of adult/minor relationship but I see it tagged by others, in that case MAJOR STOCKHOLM SYNDROME.
