An Ember in the Ashes

I'm giving it 2 stars just because it's not for me personally. DNF @ 7%. This rating has nothing against the book. The story just seems too brutal for my personal reading tastes. I like lighthearted books and they've already talked about enslavement, torture, murder, and rape by chapter 7. No thank you. I'm going to stop reading here before I get upset. The story seems interesting, but it's literally mentioned that the main character might get raped by one of the bad guys during like chapter 3 and this made me nervous. I'm not down for reading anything about sexual assault. I looked into the reviews and it seems like threats of rape are thrown around as plot devices in this book which makes me very uncomfortable. Also, there is some kind of love triangle/ love square going on and that is one of my most hated romance tropes. So the romance is a no for me and the brutal details of the reality these people live in are too violent for my tastes. I will not be finishing. On a positive note, the writing style is fantastic.
