I really liked it: psychological complexity, creepy!hot!dysfuctional! sex, an acknowledgment of the cycle of abuse that doesn't excuse current perpetrators and of the complexities of healing and trauma, psychic kids, and one-eyed dogs. Of course.
Yes! ES is just so satisfying to read. I really like the acknowledgment of the cycle of abuse, not just with Yuri and her mother, but also with Isaac and Shuro and Yuri herself. We see why they are how they are, but it still doesn't pardon Yuri for getting Isaac to kill bad people or Shuro for manipulating people or any of Isaac's actions. Or the actions of the scientists themselves.

I think I ended up buying it because it was troubled and disturbing, though I am not quite sure I completely buy Shuro's change of heart yet.
Yes! I really liked that even though Soryo acknowledged Yuri's mom's past, she didn't use that as an excuse! Unlike most romance novels... ;).
