One of the worst books I've read in the last five years, and my opinion only decreases as time passes. Using a graphic, brutal rape as your story-driver and then following it up with your author insert telling another character "why did you have me read this? was I supposed to find kinship with this horrible person" was so eye-rollingly transparent that it actually made me mad. And that's not getting into the "he's too powerful for me" shonen anime-esque sadboyisms from who is ostensibly the second most sympathetic character. (To say nothing of how cloyingly written it is; "overwritten" is an empty descriptor, but there's certainly a lot of Creating Writing Class to its structure.)

The LGBT representation is painfully lackluster and full of unnecessary brooding. The only possible recommendation I can give this is as an example of how not to portray sexual assault and its aftermath in writing - it's that bad.
