‼️Trigger warnings definitely need to be published at the beginning of this book! If they could dedicate an entire page to information about the type face, they could have dedicated a page to avoid triggering or traumatizing readers.

This book has rape (including rape of an underaged girl), graphic murder scenes, drugs/drug overdose death, and a lot of violence and gore. It constantly reminds the reader of all of the gruesome ways that people can die. Some of it felt like it was just added for the shock factor. Somehow all of the characters just continue along like they don't all need therapy 🙄

Loved the magic and lore behind this story but it was much more graphic and violent than what I generally prefer to read. My bad for not doing my due diligence, but also their bad for not publishing any TWs in the book.

Why the hell don't these books have more clear trigger warnings? Nothing like a fun Monday morning surprise of child rape. Love that.
