This book has way to many references to pedophilia, rape, and incest for me to even try finishing it.

I loved another series by this author so I wanted to try another by her. I don't know how this was even published! Everything from violence to child rape is covered. This was just horrifying and I don't recommend anyone read this.

I never hate read anything, but by 50% into this book and I hated everything about it. How did this book become such critical acclaim for essentially being nothing more than sexual torture and rape porn? The one redeeming factor is nothing is explicit. Thank God for small miracle, right? That said, I liked Surreal. And maybe Cook. Daemon can get shaved then broken.

I remember reading this years ago but I never could remember any specific detail on why. Now I know. This whole book is based upon pedophilia, molestation, rape, torture, grooming, and incest. 

The magic system is so poorly explained that I still don't even know how it works. I can't even say the characters were well written because while there were moments I loved one or two, most of this book is spent from the POV of the future love interest who grooms a child.

The writing and characters are fantastic, but 
the sheer amount of sezual assault and pedophilia is horrifying, to the point where I'm surprised I managed to finish the book.
