4.5
my rating is actually 4.43 stars, which i only point out because it's the exact same number as the average rating. wild! i did dock the half star because it took me a while to get into this one due to the focus on the main romance in the beginning (i'm a romance girly, but this one was just a little too young for me, i think, and i really loved the plot and wanted to get back to it). however, this duology is a new favorite that i want everyone to read if they haven't yet.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Child death, Confinement, Death, Rape, Sexual content, Suicide, Torture, Violence, Blood, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Slavery and Pregnancy
Minor: Homophobia and Abortion
Child death/infanticide and rape are not graphically depicted, but they are so prevalent and baked into the worldbuilding and main conflicts that I can't call them moderate.
