4.5
Emotional pirates and mermaids and about the tradeoffs that happen with poverty, fear, solitude, and addiction. Quite a book, with multiple nonbinary characters, queer love, and lovely lady operatives, along side cruel and vicious men. A lot of the latter.
Graphic: Violence, Death, Torture, Murder, and Gun violence
Moderate: Racial slurs, Addiction, Alcoholism, Confinement, Drug abuse, Racism, Classism, Trafficking, Sexism, Sexual assault, Physical abuse, and Colonisation
