After all the things he’s been through, I’m surprised Valentin had the mental capacity that he did. ![]() I think Zoya explains it well in this book about how she can fall for her capturer I don’t see Stockholm’s syndrome, I see Zoya’s ability to understand the torturous situation Valentin finds himself in. ![]() Valentin is the one that has been raped since he was a child and has been a slave for 18 years. He’s not an angel, but everything isn’t black and white. He actually causes pain to himself in order to protect her. Valentin does sexually touch Zoya with no straight out consent while he was aware, but full on rape doesn’t happen to Zoya. The obedient drugs cause a Jekyll and Hyde type deal, so Valentin isn’t fully in control of himself. When someone is being drugged to be obedient, the fault falls to the person who did the drugging. I read a lot of reviews saying 192/Valentin raped Zoya, but that’s not exactly how I saw things. I’m not huge on mafia stories but I love the intense emotion and passion in these type of books, and this one didn’t disappoint! I was a little worried after reading some other reviews, but I’m glad I didn’t listen to them since they weren’t fully accurate. ![]()
