There are references to the potential for SA throughout the book. Also, there’s literal references and allusions to slavery and the types of work involved in real life slavery also happening in this fictional world. The nobles are also quite misogynistic at times.breezy17's review against another edition

(but seriously this was just a great classic fantasy - great character writing, interesting world building, cool magic, and a plot that kept me hooked)

The plot and character development is well crafted and beautifully blended. A beautiful found family story. The magic system is fantastic and simple. I strongly recommend.

What most people enjoy with the "Sanderslanche", I just don't personally enjoy as much. I may still read on in this series. I am also going to try The Strom light archives as well.
