I enjoyed the world a lot, but the pacing was off in a way that made it difficult to read. It took me a long time to finish the book because of this, and even the climax didn't drive me to keep reading. The author also tends to 'drop' information in a way that feels made up in the moment, rather than weaving a complex and believable story.
Graphic: Gore, Infertility, Miscarriage, Grief, Religious bigotry, Pregnancy, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Child death, Death of parent, and Classism
Minor: Incest
