A great way to revisit the story without re-reading the entirety of the book !
I loved seeing the characters (even tho my mind always imagines them as they are in the TV series so it's a bit weird sometimes)

Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.

What did I just read?!?!?!

I wanted to start this series because I absolutely adored Dark Rise, by the same author. Well. This one is nothing alike.

I know I read only 37% of the book, and the second part is said to be less graphic and all but still.

How is this classified under 'romance'?! Given what happens in these 37%, I don't think any of the characters should develop a romance.
I was also told it had a huge political plot, and I can see the beginnings of it, but for me it's too overshadowed by the constant sexual assaults and abuses that the characters suffer literally every paragraph

At the beginning of that book I was like "who's Griff, I don't want a new POV from a random guy"
Little did I know that the Griff POV is a gif to this world
