DNF. 
 Not rating because I didn't get very far, but I thought I'd try to articulate some of what bothered me about this story: 
 First and foremost, I really could not connect with the characters. Mouse is running for his fucking life but all he can think about is how badly he wants to bone Hunter. It's a big pet peeve of mine in stories like this and it got to the point where I was just supremely frustrated. 
 Second, when the hell is this set?! Is it historical with fantasy elements? Is it in a fantasy world? Now, this could be a question that gets answered later, but, um, if I'm confused and constantly being thrown out of it by the language choice as early on as I was, I'm not inclined to keep going. 
 I was intrigued by the idea, but it just wasn't my thing.
