Daughter of the Blood

It starts out slow. I didn't really become invested in the story until about 100 pages into the book. You're given a lot of characters in the beginning which is hard to keep track of and their past stories which seems heavy at first but all characters mentioned in the book has a purpose. Be warned this twisted, violent world has many physical, psychological torture with abusive, and forced sexuality that every person in this world has undergone. Other than that this is a very well written and thought out book. If you like dark fantasy then you will most likely like this.
