Just finished this. I was hooked from start to finish. Felt like I was reading Berserk but in medieval post apocalyptic France. Any other books like this? Also discuss

How much rape is in there? I'm cool with violence in general but I'm getting tired of authors putting in rape every ten pages for shock value, feels like I'm reading smut instead of books.

rape is this centuries trope. Its in every edgy YA novel. Fucking all of them. Rape or rape adjacent sex scenes. Every time I fold and take someones YA suggestion it feels like a bunch of filler to contextualize a couple rape and hardcore sex scenes and it makes me sick

Starts with an attempted one but there’s surprisingly little after that

The Black Company was good. The first yep or three books of Bakker's Prince of Nothing series are good, but then it really falls off when he cannonballs into gay rape and shit like that.

Glad you liked it OP, but ngl I hated it. The prose just felt so lifeless and unengaging and the characters all seemed really one-dimensional. A shame, because the idea is great, and the scene with that thing in the river was cool.

unbearably cringe
Thomas is WAY less interesting character than the author thinks, and his backstory made him an absolute cuck.
