Moderate: Misogyny
Minor: Alcohol
this is a VERY dark and emotional book with very intense and sitrubing parts but so is the entire series as a whole. It deals with generational racism and genocide and violence and gore and a lot more but this is set in a roman empire inspired world.liminal's review against another edition

I loved how this book emphasizes how trauma compounds and multiples when not addressed among family members in communities. And the idea of when has a group atoned for their sins, or the sins of their ancestors. Is making a people suffer atonement, or is that just vengeance. There's so much here, I loved it so much.
