A male character tries to sexually assault a female character, but she stops him. This could be traumatic or triggering for some readers,Spoiler
especially because the male character is her brother.gen_wolfhailstorm's review against another edition

I think this may have been my least favourite of the series. I felt like there was too much going on and I got confused at which plot I was following.
A lot of the side characters had some povs too, so I found it difficult to keep track of everyone, despite being familiar with their voices from prior books in the series.
I know this was an important novel, building up to climax, but it was very overwhelming with the abundance of threads that were weaving together.
