4.0

i loved the story of this book and the magic/ idea of split kingdoms etc. but i didn’t exactly expect the book to be about what it’s about.
the aspect of ‘saddles’ and just literal rape made me so uncomfortable personally and i felt so uncomfortable when she had to sit and watch others have sex or read about other saddles’ experiences.
let alone the awful comments made about women in this book. i hated it
i’m excited to finish this series and find out what happens though because the ending of this book is a big cliffhanger
