It was a great read but it got unexpectedly dark. I wish more serious repercussions were demonstrated in this novel. While Mercy is a strong female character, some of the male characters did not face any serious consequences for their damaging actions. This may demonstrate the double standards of sexuality between genders but some of the things went beyond the scope of simply being forgotten. I felt that issues of safety and harassment were treated a pit too lightly. With that aside, there character development and the progression of the storyline was great.
