The trigger warnings are real but it is not gratuitous or celebrated. This is a dystopian book and not for everyone but it deals with themes and issues common in our society set on another world. This is actually a HEA.harmonhope205's review against another edition

The first time I read this book, I dnf at around the 7% mark because I was cruising through sci-fi romance novels like it was a time job, and found this 1,000 page (!) way too slow. I set it down and forgot about it for around two years. However, after stumbling across it again, I decided to look at it not as an bubblegum and fun romance, and instead try and read as serious sci-if epic. And I'm so glad I did! Honestly, it's an amazing mediation on God, religion, soul connections, and good and evil. I know i'll be thinking about this book for a long time to come, and already know that's it the type of book and I will read again and again. My one recommendations is to mind the content warnings, as this is NOT a light and easy book.
