The Goddess and the Thief by Essie Fox

2.0

I am really quite disappointed in this book, I reached the end eventually skipping paragraphs. This is a story where the main characters are senselessly cruel, the story confusingly jump around or drags too long, and the heroine has the dullest personality and is frankly quite clueless. How many times can you get your drink spiked or trust the wrong person? I was quite disturbed by the careless portrayal of abuse and, well, rape passed on as attraction or desire.. Or whatever it was meant to be. Initially veering towards 3 stars, I'm just glad it's over as it got worse and worse until the bitter end.
