This is being marketed as erotica, which I suppose it is in a way. There is plenty of explicit sex, for example, which may or may not get your motor running depending on your personal kinks. Some people are bound to find it extremely triggering, so reader beware. However it is also an intimate exploration of several things: power dynamics in sexual relationships, rape, sexual slavery, forgiveness, survival, and moving forward after catastrophe (personal, societal, or both). It is disturbing in parts, but it is quite well done, which only adds to how unsettling it is. There are some tough questions asked here. What makes it fantasy is that they are answered clearly, but plausibly. Real life tends to have messier answers, when it has them at all. ( )
