LOVED this, maybe straight ya fantasy does deserve rights after all. My only complaints are why was Elias so horny, hope that gets scrapped in the next one and was it entirely nessesary for basically every woman in this book to be sexually assaulted in some way (like I know it's based of the Roman Empire and I know it's a dark fantasy story, but I just did not enjoy reading those scenes.)
