Once I figured out this isn't a YA book, my attitude improved slightly. Weak female characters who are only strong when selfishly motivated do not speak to me. Also, I find the idea that a woman would be cavalier about being drugged and gang raped abhorrent. The only redeeming thread about the sex is that there was little to no description. The author did feel the need to include every possible sexual appetite including all forms of violence. I didn't feel like this was necessary to the plot development. I am mildly curious about how she will either come to terms with or get out of being immortal.
