Ju Transcendancing's Reviews > Innocence Lost

I wanted to like this and I thought it had a good premise but that it was ultimately unbelievable, and squicked the hell out of me. Although attempts at writing an independent-minded female character in a patriarchal society were made, they weren't believable or realised. Similarly treatment of a character with a mental disability was abhorrent. This is one of those books I finished because I kept wondering what the point was, and kept holding out hope that it would somehow come together in the end. It really didn't and I should know better and trust my instincts more often. Ableism is the worst fault of this book, but it runs into some pretty dodgy territory ethics and consent wise too. Plus the story? Just not buying it. Do not recommend at all.
