Despite the massively traumatic backstory/worldbuilding, despite the awkward writing voice, I was really into this one. But ngl... my commitment is weakening the lomger Eliano keeps his silence about everything that happened on the mainland. So far, that just feels COMPLETELY contrived, given how he feels about Salt. (Even accounting for the I-won't-spoil-it person whose wishes Eliano is respecting.) #notahappyreader

Salt really is an asshole and would be so easy to dislike, but IMHO the author has written him well - despite the ongoing awkwardness of the non-native-English cadence to the storytelling - and while my heart goes out to Eliano for having to put up with Salt's abrasiveness and the cruel ignorance of some of his comments, I don't hate Salt for it and am definitely rooting for the two of them!

Coercion and abuse... this "medical exam" is pissing me off, which I suppose means kudos to the author as that's the whole point. Prisoners really have no rights, but I suppose in the context of this story, at least Salt has Eliano.
