The Memory of Babel

This is an intriguing, thrilling story... I can't wait for the next book.
What will happen to poor Victoria?! And how...? What...? What about...? So many questions. So many people I care about. So unsafe, uncertain, worrying...

But - isn't anyone going to speak about the mind rape? That was disgusting and offputting. It took me a long time to get over it enough to continue reading. And what happened to the rapist didn't make it any better. I don't understand how Ophelia got over it so quickly.
