Sexual violence is an approximate tag, as we don't have a content warning for reproductive coercion.monnibo's review

Major pieces of backstory and world-building are conveyed in a series of well-described but pretty dense infodumps, one at the very start and a few more sprinkled throughout the rest of the text. They felt a bit clunky but were sufficiently brief as to keep from being overwhelming. The overall effect works well and I love the main characters.

From the book: “This book contains a scene of medical violence. Characters also obsess about food and count calories.”imds's review

Women are forced into pregnancy in this, and there are a lot of instances of counting calories.
