It took awhile for me to get into this one. The first half is basically bad sex and Stockholm syndrome musings but some time in the last half a plot kicked in and I'm intrigued enough to see where this going with the next book. Auren definitely has some growing to do, I hope there's more of that in book 2. I'm also curious to get a bigger glimpse of this world. Hopefully with less 'saddles' being used goings-on.
