So I just DNF'd The Twelve (the second book in The Passage trilogy), because I feel the way he writes his female protagonists is uncomfortable, there are TWO main characters raped in the same book (which is fine in terms of the story, not fine in terms of his tone while writing it) and he describes a disgusting relationship between a younger girl and a soldier who claims she's an "old soul".
Did I miss these signs in the first book or was there genuinely a shift in the second? Really disappointed overall so far but perhaps I'm overreacting?

I think you know it when you see it :-/
and regardless, your reaction can be purely personal so there’s not really such a thing as “overreacting” to how something hits you inside
