(OMG I have been raped and am therefore unworthy of my boyfriend's love!)

See, I thought that was the poison potion talking, warping Mercy's self-image. That the faerie draught was a shortcut for months or years of abuse, so that what we were seeing in Mercy was what she would have been like after Tim had been beating on her for ages, only the magic compressed it in time. Which, I thought, was a neat way of pointing out that committing a crime like rape via magic doesn't make it one bit different from the mundane variety. Same outrage: different means.

OT: are you just catching up with reviews, or have you been speed-reading? Wow. Can one speed-read with audiobooks? Does it sound like chipmunks?
