I spent probably the first 40% of this book almost ready to not continue reading it. It did get more interesting and the added action and stressful situations made it a decent read. That said, there's a lot of toxic misogyny, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, and a main character that is difficult to not to want to scream at. I also think that her naivety and messed up view of people/herself & situation is sort of the point though, so if you decide to read this I'd say just be prepared to be a bit frustrated. I'm assuming the following books in the series will see some character growth and I look forward to it!
