I enjoyed the story and writing itself, but there were things added just for shock value that came out of nowhere compared to earlier books (see content warnings)
Content Warnings
Graphic: Physical abuse, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Torture, Xenophobia, Medical content, Trafficking, and Medical trauma
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, and War
Minor: Ableism and Racial slurs
Unnecessary detail into rape as torture in a medical setting (graphic). Threaths of raping/killing/hurting children. G-slur against Romani people used once. The name of the only disabled character is "Cripplegate" (minor character). Random medical malpractice, justifying alcohol use during pregnancy (minor). Abusive/toxic family members (moderate). Holocaust/Nazis (graphic)
