No

I really did not enjoy this.
If the goal was to strike a nerve, then it was a great success.
TBH- I found it extremely problematic and wanted to DNF in the first 2 chapters.
Honestly, the only chapter I enjoyed was the prologue/Ch.1
I hated the female character rep. Hated the mental health rep.
Hated the misogyny and unnecessary attempted SA.
It was like every fantasy pet peeve I have ever had, represented in one book.
Not sure what the point was, but it went way over my head.
