after the scene of the extreme cruelty towards a group of female s*aves by these two siblings, both still kids, I lost the desire to continue reading.
You want to sell the s*aves, sell the s*aves. You want to punish them, spank their butts with a board. But the scene of a ten years old girl (with the soul of a modern 25years old wealthy woman) and a sixteen years old (a boy from ancient times) destroying young women's faces with a whip, cutting them into shreds, for half an hour (!!!) non-stop BEFORE punishing them with boards and selling them made me lose interest in these protagonists. I have zero desire to see them grow and love each other.
This was cruelty for the sake of cruelty, a psychotic streak in their personality. One might feel like destroying another person's face, imagining doing so, but doing it for real is another matter. Especially to your subordinates. Especially a modern adult to a young ancient s*ave, a person so deprived of every right. It is sick. After that, who cares that you can grow magical medicinal plants or save lives of the people in power. All lives matter.
[collapse]I cannot give this story a low rating, just because it describes insanity and cruelty, it is well written and the author knows what's right and what's wrong, she is not an insane person herself. So this time I decided to give a novel no rating at all.
