Lilith Grey

Just a quick note:

there is lace in this book =)
there is abuse and rape of a minor, however, behind the scenes.
there is abuse all over the place, as a matter of fact. Cause - slaves =)
there is death of minor characters.
there is an ending, that seems... rushed, for the lack of better word outside of spoiler tags, but I don't see how it could have been done differently without adding another 100-150 pages to the already long read.

and then...
there is formatting. UGH. I can easily take a star down just for that, because even at the end of the book multiple "IE"s (meant to be "I...") never failed to make me think of Microsoft and Internet Explorer, and that's just one tiny example of the wide variety of formatting problems within a book.

Ellis's point of view as a slave, his thoughts about being a slave and enjoying his servitude, feeling fulfilled, was amazing, imho, and redeemed many a flaw.

In the end, 4 stars.

How can I possibly describe how this book made me feel? Because honestly, I'm lost for words.

This story shows a society where in order for girls/boys to learn a profession, they must become a slave. A very fucked up form of internship I suppose. And while it probably started out with good intentions, it became corrupt over time. Slaves became property that is owned, do be treated as the owner wishes. Love isn't allowed between a Master and a slave.

This book is a gem of story-telling, world-building and character creation. It sucked me in, made me feel with Ellis, Harte and William. It truly gave me everything I could possibly wish for in a book. I wish I could give it more stars!… (more)
