The sex in this book is VERY BDSM. It's negotiated well, but mentions times when it hadn't been. Definitely heavy on the degradation, but all consensual.tinkeringcheck's review against another edition

But the side cast! They were all delightful and made the decision to finish the book worth it, along with the neat tie-in to real historical events.
That said, I would've preferred a heads-up about the consenual noncon aspect of their dom/sub relationship ahead of time! Getting thrown into the middle of a scene in the first chapter without knowing that threw me a bit.Â

Sexual violence is a bit of an overkill tag because it's consensual, though not often discussed beforehand. Includes things like consensual noncon, penetration without prep, manhandling, and scratching with a comb. There's is some aftercare and tender pillowtalk after though.littlewishling's review against another edition
