Moderate warnings are all discussed internal monologue and have brief scenes further discussing between characters. Dementia is not outright for the suffering character (his mind is described as "shattered") but it mirrors it. Autistic character is treated very well by family but there is one scene where someone insists he doesn't use his headphones (noise regulation tool) and makes eye contact. Characters also discuss larger bigotry in the Clave surrounding those who the Clave (not his family) call "mad" this is the forced institutionalization. It does not happen, only discussed.

I put off reading this trilogy for a long time, I've tried some years ago, found it slow, stopped after 40 pages. Now, picked it up again, i liked it way more and appreciated it way more. Loved both Emma and Mark
but in those last two pages... even though I can see and understand the reasoning, i can't help but think that it is a Stupid idea, we will see how it evolves i suppose.
Also loved Ty but mostly because I relate to him a lot. It definitely feels like the slowest trilogy so far (except TLH, haven't read that one yet), but in the end the slowness kinda makes sense.
