One of the best books I've read in a while. I loved it! The author did a great job of getting the reader to realize the plot twists as the characters did.
Graphic: Animal death, Violence, and Gaslighting
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Incest, and Death of parent
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Child abuse, Eating disorder, Pedophilia, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Pregnancy
the main character has numerous fight scenes which are detailed, but not overly gorey, main character is forced to hurt innocent(ish) people, the main villain is very heavily implied to be a pedophile who wants to rape his 10 year old daughter and who raped a 10 year old servant to get to his wife - not graphic, in fact if a child were to read this they might not know what is going on
