Shannon answers “Hey! I really want to read this book but I...”

Sara Inês asked this question about Captive Prince (Captive Prince, #1):

Hey! I really want to read this book but I have to ask first: Is this one of those books that "romanticize" rape and violence?

Shannon There is a difference in depiction of rape/violence and the romanticization of it. Unfortunately, some are not able to differentiate between the two. …moreThere is a difference in depiction of rape/violence and the romanticization of it. Unfortunately, some are not able to differentiate between the two. In the first book there are depictions present, but we view it through the lends of a character who is absolutely disgusted by it. Also, these are all actions by the royal upper-class, who as a whole are the villains of the trilogy. If depictions bother you as a reader, this probably isn't the series for you, but there is in no way any romanticization.
