A really rape heavy story.

Our main hero Tylar is a crippled disgraced knight who starts the story saving a girl from being raped and as a result he is nearly raped himself. He then sees a god being killed and gains super powers which he uses to kill his attempted rapist.

Meanwhile our secondary hero is a young girl (virgin) who is raped. Her rapist is then killed by a dog that is powered by the blood released in her rape.

At one point Our hero is captured by an evil god who threatens to rape one of his virgin companions.

This isn't the only rapist god though. Near the end the main bad god is revealed to have raped one of his assistants. His seed burned her insides leaving a hollow shell that is used as a puppet.

You get the idea. That's not all that is wrong with the book though.

Other than all of the rape you also have other problems. There are characters from a foreign language that are used in the beginning of the book, but which is quickly abandoned. You have the most generic fantasy world ever complete with random monster encounters and airships. The political intrigue is badly done, and predictable. The main characters are 'cursed' with all powerful super powers that activate when they are hurt.

On the other hand I did finish the book, and I have read worse. It's something a young adult might have written plot wise, but the prose are good.

All in all? Meh.
