2.5
The casual misogyny and unnecessary bodily catalogues of the women in the story made this book hard to get through. I love the magic system and worldbuilding but I won't be continuing the series as I've been told the sexism continues throughout all of the books.
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, Death, Gore, and Blood
Moderate: Body shaming, Fatphobia, and Sexism
