I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author touched on themes of imperialism, colorism, hope, faith in humanity, truth, freedom, and friendship/loyalty... SO MUCH!
The character development was *chef's kiss* for me personally. I cannot wait for future installments to see what happens with these characters... the dynamic between Danso and Lilong is so great!

Moderate: Colonisation
There is also a sort of abortion-adjacent/miscarriage-adjacent situation... there's magic involved and it's not an outright abortion or miscarriage but I could see it being an issue for some who have experienced either of those things.
