Fatphobia: Throughout the book a character is described as chubby in a way that implies she is unattractive for it. Murder: There's a lot of murder and death in this book as a whole, the whole story is revolved around death. Animal death and cruelty: Near the beginning, a bag of drowned kittens is found. We do see these kittens come up as ghosts which personally made me feel better but it's still definitely saddening for animal lovers. A man attempts to sacrifice an elephant but fails, however the elephant is still injured in the process. Classism: A princess throws out a bit of classism here and there.
