this entire prequel trilogy is a masterpiece as a villain origin story for the worst fictional character i have ever read in my entire life, dornan ross. no form of death will be enough for what that character deserves, no amount of torture will be enough to make up for all the physical and emotional abuse he committed on so many characters. having said that, i can't stop thinking what was the point of this story, what was the message the author wanted to convey, what did i gain from this other than emotional pain? like what the hell was my reward for getting through three books filled with torture porn?? well who the fuck knows, i have no words for what this was. all i know is thank god i'm free from this bleak ass story and characters. maybe someday i'll read the sequel series to see if emilio and dornan get what they deserve but right now i wouldn't touch those books with a ten-foot pole, i need to regain some of my sanity back lol
