I liked it but for a story with so much details and backstory I found the ending to be rather unsatisfying. I craved for a more 'happy ending' I suppose, where Yhalen learns to deal with his fears. Where Bloodraven discovers the actions of the Dark Lord and where Yhalen visits home. 
 Still, even if this story was slow at times, it was a very awesome read and I feel nicely cocooned in the world it build. I expected it to be purely erotic reading and thus was surprised when there was such a strong story in it. Loved it. Definitely not for everyone due to the strong line of non-con through it and because of the fantasy aspect but I really enjoyed it.
