Think book had me feeling everything. It touches in a lot of sensitive topics, such as rape, physical abuse, torture, etc., but if you push past it (thankfully most of it gets only vague mentions, no in depth descriptions) you will definitely find it worth the read. Circe finds herself struggling to acclimate herself in a foreign world. Literally. She has been magically transported to an alternate universe/world where she is surrounded by primitive savages who speak a completely unknown language. 
 Add to the mix she gets dropped in just in time to experience the Wife Hunt where a group of willing and unwilling/confused women are released and literally chased down by the savage warriors on horseback to be "claimed" as their bride. And by claimed I mean the have sex with them right then and there and then they are taken and paraded naked in front of a bunch of other people as their marriage union is declared. 
 Circe is claimed by none other than the Dax, king, himself. The story follows the days and weeks that follow as she slowly learns the culture and language of these people and comes to know the man she married. She faces queenly duties, wifely duties, espionage, betrayal, a murder attempt, physical harm, hatred and many other things while coming to accept her new life. 
 There are a few twist and surprises and heartbreaking moments, but it was a fun wild emotional ride that I loved all the way through.
