Moderate: Sexual assault and Sexual violence

A major character details events leading up to and following a year spent in sexual slavery. She is also taunted by her slaver. Nothing explicit is shown but plenty is heavily implied via flashbacks and dialogue.

It's brilliant how Leigh Bardugo made the main character such an ass and yet he is still sympathetic and even lovable

A wild ride from start to finish. Leant a little heavily on the changing points of view to give the reader the element of surprise/suspence towards the end, but was still thoroughly enjoyable though all of those moments. Characters that I loved/loved to hate, worldbuilding that blended nicely into the story. Relationships (friendships, romance, rivalries, etc) that all felt real and were compelling. Can't wait to read the sequel!

Casual use of the word "cripple", with the context that the books is written by a disabled author.

Just like every one, I love the Crows with my entire heart. This found family is simply amazing. Where the plot lacks, Bardugo excels in character development and world building. The darker departure from the S&B trilogy adds a new and fresh take on the Grishaverse.
