Review: Rape and abuse solves everything
Rating: 1 out of 5

I have read most things by this author, and here is my problem with this book ...While it has been hinted at in other books, now it is clear that Power is mass producing his work.I literally cannot tell the difference between the characters in different series, even though they are supposedly very different. Rape and sexual abuse is "good" and solves "everything" and is just fine and proper and something you should accept ...I don't mind that concept too much. I mean, it is weird, unrealistic, and stupid, but it makes sense that some people that are really messed up might think so.What I dislike is that it is now being used as a deux ex machina to solve "everything" and is suddenly a main part of the plot / storyline / character progression in all of his series ...In this book the main (female) characters behave completely against how they behaved in the previous books - because then the main character can solve everything by some rape and abuse "which is all good" ... obviously? In his other books lately, it is suddenly become more and more relevant, without any real reason for.Sad to see a relatively good author end up writing ... to be honest, complete shit like this book, but, well, he can write what he wants. It doesn't make it good though. I am honestly baffled by the 5 star reviews on this book, which I rank as his (by far) worst book so far.If you haven't read anything by this author before, try out pretty much anything else before this one.
