Review: Some disturbing themes

There are some obvious themes in this book. Ruby is a young and neglected girl who finally has the means to escape home. Jeremy is the man that eventually buys her from a slave action.  The story it’s self suited my mood for the day. I wanted a book I could curl up with and finish in a sitting. Every now and then a ‘big word’ is thrown into the writing style that doesn’t seem to fit into the eb and flow of the writing.This is a fantasy and as such I think it is important to remember that. I try not to have a political rant when writing reviews however; I did think the sex slave trade in the story was treated far too lightly. The kidnapping and selling of girls is a real life issue and in this story it sounds a little bit like a fairy tale. At no point in the story dose Ruby have a nightmare or panic attack due to her time with the sex traders, and in fact she talks about it as if it was just a miserable kind of holiday.  Jeremy never feels guilty that he has supplied the financial means for a sexual cartel to abuse woman.If as a reader you can cope with the lack of depth of the Skelton of this story go for it. But if the above is going to concern you or you are an 18 year old girl who is going to think being kidnapped might be fun, (tongue in cheek) please don’t read it.
