[For context, I am currently rereading the first book in Samantha Shannon's Bone Season series. My husband Matthias has read this book, but not any others in the series.]
Me: It's been ages since I've read this book, and I forgot so much that happened! And Warden is so mean to Paige in this book!
Matthias: Yeah, I've always wondered why you love their relationship so much. It's completely Stockholm Syndrome-y.
Me: Matthias, that is why I like it!
I mean, to be fair things change very quickly from those inaspicious beginnings in that book, and the characters do eventually get around to discussing the messed up way in which they met, but if you're not into that sort of thing the first book would be extraordinarily offputting.
