I loved this book. I especially appreciated that the moment I wondered "where are the trans dragons" was the moment the trans dragons showed up.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Cancer, Child abuse, Death, Emotional abuse, Homophobia, Infidelity, Misogyny, Sexism, Terminal illness, Religious bigotry, Death of parent, Lesbophobia, Fire/Fire injury, and Abandonment
Moderate: Body horror
Minor: Gun violence
The mentions of guns are mainly in the context of "dragons are bulletproof". Body horror is entirely women turning into dragons.
