Content Warnings

Graphic: Torture, Murder, Body horror, War, Death, Blood, and Gore

Moderate: Body shaming, Xenophobia, and Fatphobia

Random fatphobia/bodyshaming came outta left field in this book and tarnished a hitherto fun, easy to read urban fantasy romp established by the previous 3 books.

I cannot read the last book in the series because I'm no longer in a fevered enough state of illness to enjoy it I think.  The third book was worse, but this one was straight up wacky.
