Graphic: Body horror, Injury/Injury detail, Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Violence, Drug abuse, Torture, Suicidal thoughts, Trafficking, Blood, Fire/Fire injury, Child abuse, Death, and Slavery
Moderate: Pedophilia, Self harm, Stalking, and Kidnapping
Bombs/explosives are used to kill/maim characters, but the descriptions are not graphic. Every time the Hanged Man appears, descriptions of fatal injuries are described as it is a part of his appearance. Slashes in his clothes, gaping wounds, and blood in particular. He also pursues and has a history of pursuing minors. It is never explicitly described what he does with them in detail, but the characters do posit theories to what he does with them, some of which are very dark. The characters visit a red-light district with various degrees of corruption; consent and its lack thereof crop up frequently. Proceed with caution once they approach the Green Docks.pvbobrien's review

Original Review Jan 2021:
Oh. My. God. This book......*incoherent fangirl screeching and flailing*. I loved this book with my whole heart. There’s just no other way to say it. This went some unexpected directions and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the rest of the series.
