usually i don't go for sci fi crap because they are usually crap, but this one is quite well written, and the introductory paragraphs in the beginning actually are quite convincing. I am still reading it and I think this is very promising. The author constructs a completely absurd plot into something that is believeable. that requires a certain talent.
OK, I kept reading and I have to lower the review now because the author lacks any ability to describe a detailed scenario. What are the tortures like? For example, the rack, how is the victim being placed? The description doesn't paint a complete picture and leaves one hanging. The story also becomes very cliche after the middle of the first part and frankly I don't know if I can be motivated to finish it. (6/10)

This was excellent. I was gasping for air by the middle of the first part. I enjoyed the thorough detail and attention to character and plot development. Very well-written, too. Features some heavier discipline, and a true no-nonsense vision of servitude and slavery. Maybe not for those whose understanding of slavery is drawn primarily from reading Anne Rice. (8/10)

The author gets very high marks for story development and background. The writing is good and the story flows well. However I am repulsed by the concept of this type of servitude, despite the psychological make-up of the heroine. Perhaps that's my hang-up, who knows. I'll not be reading any more of this budding epic. (7/10)
