Review: Super interesting story - if you like severe non consensual BDSM

I am a huge Carolyn Faulkner fan. There is something about her writing that always draws me in even if the subject is beyond that which I think I can handle. Both this novel andPrimadeal with a post apocalyptic society in which women are scarce and slaves to men. In this society men can do whatever they want with women -- though few remain. The women don't consent to it - their ownership is out of their control. Tria, like Prima, centers on one woman and her story. There is some pretty intense play here of a BDSM nature such as caning, paddling, and the like. No matter what her owner does Tria seems to like and enjoy it -- even if she is in pain while it happens. The emotional journey she goes on and how she comes to accept herself are what makes this more than PWP.This is NOT for any average reader nor anyone who is a dabbler - no sugar kink here. This is hard core and non consensual but with a plot and story. It's not quite as good as the first one (the story just doesn't flow as well) but is still a very good book. It is a particular favorite of mine and one of Faulkner's best in my opinion.
