The fact that people are even criticizing Ines shows how embedded misogyny is in our culture. The author makes it clear how much suffering and ptsd she has received from her past lives and how it being all rooted in misogynistic patriarchal societies and y’all STILL want to crucify ines for it GROSS
I am not defending the rape at all, but if you are new to the story, I suggest you stick with it because it does have a lot of heartfelt and fluff moments. It’s really well written, and the characters tend to grow on you, so I hope new readers don’t get swayed by the bad reviews.
