Very interesting worldbuilding. Unfortunately the protagonist reacts very realistically to the horrors, i.e. she's always close to a full mental breakdown, which doesn't make for a very fun read. Would have been more interesting if Mouse had died at the end, or stayed in Anna's place. Honestly, I'd have loved this story so much more if it had been from Anna's pov.
Moderate: Animal death and Dementia
Minor: Child death, Sexual violence, Slavery, and Pregnancy
