I won't lie, my review is definitely lower due to the fact that some authors think that violence and r*pe can be forgiven if the rapist "truly loved" the person they r*ped. It's disheartening to see the in the first life how the FL's feelings being treated like dirt by everyone, and the author later expects the audience to forgive a rapist because they're good looking and have a tragic past.??/end rant
The r*pe thing felt like people don't get what political marriages are/ don't understand the difference between dubious consent and actual noncon. It hurt her, and intimacy should NEVER make people uncomfortable. However, to put it into the nitty gritty so people can understand this in proportion of their own society. Its like a s*x worker who already agreed and gave consent before hand began to feel uncomfortable while in the midst of things. Being a queen entail that at some point you'll have s*x, in order to produce a child. If she didn't want to have s*x, it would make most sense not to apply to be married and especially not be a queen when the entire country is relying on you to have their next ruler. She has a MAJOR victim mentality and gives people the STRONG urge to either force her to obey for her own good or leave her tired of her nonsense. In some sense I feel like the ML shouldn't have forced her to marry him (even though she did the same to him before) but then again she would have died otherwise. If she literally took a moment to just stfu about her own problems and listened to ANYONE she would have known she's the problem. Real life is like that though, and as someone who's dealt with people who have a severe victim-complex its easy to develop a savior complex. The need to protect someone who really shouldn't be in control of their own life due to their destructive tendencies, she should be getting therapy and in NO position of power. I feel like her husband wanted to explain to her his perspective, and get closure from their first life versus an actual marriage. What he had for her wasn't love, it was an obsession to get closure. The only way he was going to get that from someone who will listen to no one or the clear results is to literally bend over backwards and work like a dead dog. Giving this novel and their characters a much needed therapy session. Its WAYY too common and realistic to see people like this. Hope to god, I never meet someone as bad as the FL.
- story didn't end abruptly as soon as the major conflict was resolved; I got to follow the main characters as they settled into their relationship with each other and the surrounding community/countries
- decent character development/growth [albeit painfully slow at times]. Chronologically,
- the FL starts as a tentative, victimized, isolated young woman who then bitterly resolves to protect herself emotionally no matter how extreme. By the end she begins to explore what it might be like to live fully with love and forgiveness-without the blinding self-pity and blaming.
- the ML begins as a deeply scarred young man embroiled in a struggle for control with his Queen Mother. He can't see past his own pain and indignation to understand anyone else and assumes everyone around him is equally manipulative. This leads to disaster when combined with pride, serious emotional detachment and an inability to communicate. He learns a bit from his tragic mistake, but takes an incredibly long time to shift from trying to control everything to trying to overcome obstacles together.
