Content Warnings

Moderate: Death of parent

Minor: Emotional abuse, Death, and Racism

Context for mild content warnings in spoilers below

Emotional Abuse - Milo's uncle Horatio is dismissive and distant with him, always doubting his abilities. Later several people including Milo chalk this up to Horatio protecting him but I don't know about that. Death - as mentioned before there js reference to a dead parent. The book concerns two family members being poisoned and Milo's remaining family are presumed dead. Racism - this has a very brief mention - Milo notes that his trips to older books can be more difficuly due to his skin colour. Hope this helps
