OMG this one got me. I think this is the first time the rape scene really got to me. It was a good story and I love the way it worked out. The boy really reminded me of me and how I might react if I were in his situation. Not everyone has the ability to fight back or get mad or whatever. Some people are just sad and withdrawn. I was pissed at the prince, but I could see his conflict too. He's been through serious crap when it comes to his own family (or, really, lack thereof) and so I can understand him not automatically trusting in this kid who shows up out of nowhere. Good, pulls at the heartstrings. Definitely enjoyed it.
