Forced submission training, my beloved dark trope. 

Larkin is extremely naive to the point that it’s like his rose tinted glasses turn every red flag into just a flag. His rigid morality and intimacy issues are borderline autistic coded. The only thing missing is being too literal and having a weird relationship with food lol. 

The story tries very hard to convince me that Real Feelings happened, and to a certain extent they did. But Larkin and Jade were never vulnerable with each other emotionally while bonding in the cave, so the ramp up to them being in Love felt a little artificial.

Regardless, it was an enjoyable read, and I’m suuuuper curious about the next book after that epilogue.
