Content Warnings
Moderate: Violence, Animal cruelty, and Animal death
Minor: Emotional abuse, Slavery, and Sexism
While I generally found the book a fun, light read, it's immediately apparent that the treatment of the dragons as lesser beings is wrong. I marked the abuse of the dragons as animal abuse/death, but they're more properly characters in and of themselves, and so I debated whether I should warn for them as I would human characters. There is also some minor period typical prejudice toward various characters. Most of these issues are only lightly touched upon in this first book.
