Very very very very violent, a lot of death and a lot of times it is more graphic than not, but it's still an amazing book. I would reccommend this to anyone who likes to cry over books, characters who have some psychological issues, really anything violent.

The R slur is constantly used against an autistic child. The narrative treats it as a bad and disgusting, unacceptable thing, but it is still used a lot.

I 100% repressed everything in this book when I first read it as a kid. Way darker than I remember. Still very enjoyable. The content POV switches with no warning are very jarring. 

Overall a good start. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
