This was delightful. This story, the worldbuilding and characters were are well thought out and it was very enjoyable reading from to begging to the end. I really wish it'd be a series, maybe Domvoda's redemption next? I think think this world is too interesting to leave behind after just one book.
The only thing I can complain about is poor editing - this book was riddled with mistakes - missing words or wrong words, it took a bit from overal enjoyment :<

DNF
After 2 chapters I decided to quit - the prompt was very promising but unfortunately the writing is very disappointing and it made it really difficult for me to immerse myself in the story.

DNF 21% characters are too childish for me

I loved this story and would give it 5/5 if not for the sex scenes - the humiliation kink and all of that was not what was wrong with them but the utter lack of intimacy and the way of writing that either lacked emotions or the emotions that were portrayed weren't convincing, I felt as if I was reading a manual instead of a sex scene between 2 characters :(

Finally, a book where a character isn't miraculously healed or mentally perfect after a tough upbringing — this case was very mild compared to characters in other books (which only adds to the realism!). The psychological knowledge was beautifully utilized. The main character felt incredibly real, and their progress, and was natural and believable. The only thing I wish is that it had been just a wee bit longer. Still, 5/5 — definitely one of my favorite books.
