Thought this was a surprise sci-fi novel from the first page before I realised she was in a damn cult.
It was decent enough to read without pain, but I have no real interest in the sequel which is rare for me. Everything felt too rushed, and despite being willing to accept the old "there was an almost magical connection between these two" this book didn't give enough time or effort to support the spark growing into the strength of relationship they had.
There is a lot of sexual assault in this book and it made me feel uncomfortable.
