I truly cannot emphasize enough how much ableism is directed to people with physical disabilities by antagonists in this book. Additionally, this book contains a slur against intersex people (repeated twice).

Manages to be a military sci-fi adventure while also taking a stab at toxic masculinity.

I expect the many children who are born in or shortly before this book will have long careers in the series.
