I appreciate this novel deeply. Mostly because the MC is screwed up and recognizes it. He's not apologetic about it and is highly functional in spite of l being within the sociopath spectrum. I also find a bit of possessiveness in how he treats his people... A lot of higher function sociopaths feel this way so the author has done his research! The mental after effects of abuse are handled well as well. I also like how his potential backer (the queen) knows that he has these issues accepts it and is still willing to fight for him. It's not altruistic but it's fun to read.
