In the world in which this story takes place, it is common for noblemen to rape poorer women and then have them executed so they will not bear children. We don’t ever read about it as it’s happening, but it is discussed several times for the purpose of showing the evil in the empire.directorpurry's review against another edition

There are references to the potential for SA throughout the book. Also, there’s literal references and allusions to slavery and the types of work involved in real life slavery also happening in this fictional world. The nobles are also quite misogynistic at times.
