i heard that this was really misogynistic going in, and i thought i was prepared for the severity of it. i was not. pretty sure every named female character in here gets raped at some point. almost every male POV character is a rapist either by force or deception. i say "almost" because the most likable one pays for sex and is emotionally abusive. so that's good, get a little viewpoint diversity there.

i'd say other stuff, but i'm not sure it matters. the sexual violence in Game of Thrones and Malazan washed over me like a cool breeze, and i wrapped this up thinking the cops need to set someone to watch this guy's house.
