I haven't gathered all my thoughts together yet, so I'll leave a more detailed review later, but I absolutely loved it!
Graphic: Body horror, Child death, Cursing, Death, Gore, Gun violence, Terminal illness, Violence, Blood, Grief, Murder, Colonisation, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Drug use, Incest, Suicidal thoughts, Vomit, Fire/Fire injury, and Alcohol
Note on the terminal illness: the main character is dying over the course of the story, but it's not from a real world illness. It's more supernatural in nature, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. A minor character also is very ill throughout the story, but again, it's supernatural in nature.
Child death: the character who dies isn't technically a child, but their memory is wiped so they behave and think like one. So tagged it just in case.
Incest: it is implied by the way two characters interact with each other, but it is not explicitly in the text or at all graphic.
