I don't get how anyone is supposed to see the appeal of quintis. He is a sexist, racist, wife abuser who believes he is superior to everyone. What is there to like here?

I'm not really sure why I am still reading this. But here I am

So far this is underwhelming at best. I've cranked the narration speed. Debated dnfing but just curious enough to continue...

Why do important things have to be things that hurt us? Why can something only be valued and held in high regard if its dark and damaging? Why can't we keep the bright things, the lovely things? Why can't those things be special too?

And I think this is where I accept this book is not for me. From what I can see it handles PTSD and other things poorly going forward and its just not worth finishing.
The portrayal of women only on their hotness scale sucks.

That if a man made you doubt whether his love for you would survive anything, he does not deserve you
