I really don't think that every female character needs rape in their backstory to make her trauma more interesting. And for real this book is kind a torture porn. Sure its captivating and mysterious and even funny at times but jeez it would have worked without the gore and torture and rape!
If you want to read something similar in vibes but less graphic (not without but certainly a lot less gore) pick up Gideon the ninth and not this one.
