You can argue that it is to be somewhat expected in the first two books due to Hadassah being a slave and Marcus her owner and although that doesn't make it right, I appreciate how Francine shows the darker nature of that time and slavery and the effects of living in it. I'm talking about abuse here, people: emotional, physical, and spiritual. The romantic relationships between the main characters (Hadassah and Marcus in the first two books, and then Atretes and Rizpah and the third) all began on tumultuous and dangerous grounds. In this Mark of the Lion series, I noticed a discomforting trend. And since I got to start somewhere, I might as well get my "problems" with the book out of the way. buutttt there were just some things I didn't like about this book. Despite the one star review I gave it, I did enjoy it more so towards the ending and there was a lot of spiritual wisdom and entertainment speckled throughout it.
