djinnia 's review for:
Kagen the Damned
by Jonathan Maberry
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read an arc copy of Kagen the Damned.
I'm sorry to say that I have to DNF this book at 36%.
The plot was interesting and I was enjoying where the main story was going. Kagen is definitely a flawed character for the first part of the book. He's suffering from so much that I felt for him.
I wanted to find out how the book ends, but I can't get passed all the rape scenes taking place in the book. Yes, I know it happens during war and in real life, but it's there in almost every chapter I read. It made me almost ill with the graphic descriptions.
It's also a gore fest with lots of blood and guts and vivid descriptions of mutilations. I don't mind violence. Hacking and slashing doesn't bother me. I much prefer blood and gore to the constant scenes of defilement and sexual assault.
I wish it was tagged a trigger warning for those who don't like reading rape scenes.
