A well written book but not my type and wish I’d read some content warnings for the casual horror that’s mixed in

Vivid and detailed world building. Strong social commentary/political intrigue. Great tension. Characters were charming but not great. Intriguing if convoluted prose (comes across much better on audio I believe.)
Graphic: Abandonment, Classism, Murder, Sexual violence, Torture, Violence, Suicide, Trafficking, and War
Moderate: Pandemic/Epidemic, Sexual content, Blood, Excrement, Gore, Gun violence, and Misogyny
Minor: Alcohol, Addiction, Alcoholism, Body horror, Animal death, and Forced institutionalization
