Tough Issues: Forced prostitution, rape

Violet, her younger sister, and four other teen girls escape their harem prison and journey across their western-style land to remove the visible brand that is holding them back from true freedom. Lots of interesting world-building elements including the indentured servitude of "shadowless" people, ghosts/monsters that roam the land, men that are trained to inflict misery on women without words or physical contact, and magical/advanced chemical compounds like what is used to brand the girls. These interesting concepts don't receive more than a mention, unfortunately, and Davis puts her focus on the plot progression and the side quests (that get more elaborate as the book moves along). A fun story but didn't fully live up to it's intriguing premise.
