ngl even though i expected the rape, it still upset me when it happened. Ian the type of person you don't want any harm going his way. so fucking glad that mf died. i wished we found out what happened to the son and wife as well. but it's very likely they're living miserably so ig that's a happy end for them.
imo Raymond wasn't the good guy at the beginning. like he said his goal just changed. if he didn't love Ian, he would have continued to treat Ian like an item. so i'm not gonna come out here and act like he's some godsend to save Ian. he wasn't. Ian basically fell from one shit hole to another.
But love happened. I do think Raymond is a different person at the end though. like he said he is still selfish and possessive, but he isn't involved in dangerous things anymore. his purpose is different now and it's for the better.
Ian deserved all the good things in life, glad it's happy end for him.
The story itself about raymond's political standing was more complex than i thought, although also not so complex that you lose interest. is just a good mix of that and the development of their relationship to be intriguing. we had a lot of support characters but similarly, we didn't go too deep into their backgrounds too so it's a good balance.
