Moderate: Gore and Body horror
I'm not sure how to label it (I went ahead and tagged gore and body horror, but that's not exactly it), but the magic system here is bone magic so there's a lot of death-adjacent stuff going on with that. I didn't find it to be particularly graphic or icky, but you know...it's bone magic.anilourengo's review against another edition

A los 3/4 del libro ya están presentes los distintos desafíos a los que se enfrentan 4 de los 5 personajes y como los enfrentan. Dejando el último 25% para que podamos hacernos una idea de cual es la nueva estructura del mundo y en el último capítulo presentando el problema al que se enfrentaran en el segundo libro de la trilogía.
En mi caso particular, la sinopsis del libro no tiene nada que ver con la historia que se desarrolla después, puede que sea una buena sinopsis para la trilogía pero no para la historia en sí, ya que presenta únicamente a Lin como protagonista, cuando para mi el conductor de la historia en este caso, es Jovis. Esta situación llevó a que me costara conectar con el libro y los distintos personajes desde un principio y no encontrar el conflicto que me imaginaba hasta el último capítulo.
En resumen, el 50% inicial del libro sería contexto, 25% central la trama en sí, y el 25% restante.. contexto para continuar la saga.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a new world to get lost in. This sucked me in and I couldn’t stop reading. The Constructs are so creepy and delightful to read about. If you’re squeamish about mild body horror or brainwashing, I would say this might not be for you. I was obsessed with the magic system and how these creatures have their power.
Five stars! I haven’t felt glued to a book like this in a while and I already have the other two. So excited to keep going!
