Trigger Warnings: Child abuse, Rape, Child sexual Assault
The story centers around the character of Freya during a court case. She is a well-respected doctor who specializes in burns and skin grafts. She has spent her entire career building up a reputation as one of the best surgeons in her field. Something traumatic and horrific happened to her in her childhood, which has affected her in some very dark and disturbing ways. This is a fairly short story, 176 pages, but some reviewers have said it is possibly the most disturbing of the trilogy thus far.

The book was handed to me by a neighbor who had read it and was 100% determined that I understand that she DID NOT WANT IT BACK! I understood her reasoning after a couple of chapters. To be kind...because I have read this author before and I have liked his writing...but I was surprised by this one. I know how much time and effort is spent in writing a book and getting it published...and this is a trilogy so there is one before (Earth) and one more to come after this one, (Water).

The book didn't have the same effect on me that it did my neighbor...believe me I have read worse...and it may not bother others at all...it will be taken it for what it is, a work of fiction....at least you will sincerely hope it is... but be aware that it is still harrowing, uncomfortable and deeply, deeply, traumatic and shocking. Please pay attention to the trigger warnings. A great many emotions have been crammed into these 176 pages.
