I'm very conflicted about this book. The hero basically rapes the heroine, his wife, in every "love" scene. But she likes it, or so it would seem because she is always sexually satisfied by him in the end. Brandewyne really means it, though, this woman never experiences gentle lovemaking in the whole book. I think the story was too long by half and much of the story was just upsetting or frustrating. However with all that said, I am still thinking about it, several days later, even though I am reading a different book now. And I found the book difficult to put down. I was invested in their love story and thought the resolution was worthwhile. But I kept wishing that the last couple sections of the epic would have been omitted. It just made me like the heroine less.
