I'm on the fence: on one side I appreciated the plot and the characters, on the other side I skipped some parts (I'm not a fan of sex scenes).
On a general level it's an entertaining and well written story that I enjoyed.
Interesting characters and historical background, I liked how the authors deals with some serious issues like sexual exploitation.
I read some reviews by people who were shocked by the age of the characters (16, 30). Please note that in the XIX century a lot women were married with children at 16 years so this is historically correct
I want to read the next installment as I'm curious to read what will be next.
NOTE: some scene are quite disturbing as they refer to sadists.
