wheatlyre's review against another edition
I have enjoyed it so far, with a couple parts in particular sticking out to me, especially [spoiler cw:
Graphic: Child abuse, Confinement, Physical abuse, Forced institutionalization, Xenophobia, and Deportation
Moderate: Death, Emotional abuse, Misogyny, Terminal illness, Islamophobia, Death of parent, Colonisation, and Classism
Minor: Slavery and Trafficking
all content warnings mentioned were put in intentionally by the author and are seen clearly to be character flaws or problematic.hannahcstocks's review against another edition
