This is an excellent book with an expansive world. I am very much hoping this becomes a series because I adored the characters and want to see their lives progress! This one is a roller coaster of emotions but the end is so sweet and happy that it makes me smile. An instant favourite!

Content Warnings

Graphic: Violence, Sexual content, Cursing, and Slavery

"Slavery" doesn't precisely fit the content of the book, but is the closest approximation. Throughout the book, one of the main characters is threatened with or put under coercion by another character in order to force the main character to do (non-sexual, but often violent) things they refused to do.
