Argeed. Applaud the author for not shying away from the sexual assault part but the bandit attack needed a bit more than a couple of pages. It's not that we need to see the sordid detail but skipping through just kinda limits the emotional connection with the characters and their motivations. Personally think they should have dedicaed a whole chapter to the backstory and saved the 'upgrading' for Ch3.Clumsy start, has potential, will keep reading.
