Content Warnings
Minor: Colonisation, Death, Sexism, Racism, Rape, Torture, Child abuse, Slavery, Classism, Sexual violence, Misogyny, Pedophilia, Racial slurs, Drug abuse, Fire/Fire injury, Sexual assault, and Trafficking
All of the things I tagged as minor trigger warnings are mentioned in the book but a lot of it is them talking about the state of the world and how these sorts of things occur in certain neighborhoods/countries/cultures. It is not a super plot-relevant focus, but they bring up concerns of the slave trade and everything that comes with that. They don't graphically describe anything, but I think it is pretty clear what they are talking about about. Please take care of yourself.amalyndb's review

Keep in mind this was published in 1995 and is the first of the Elemental Masters novels. Keep in mind the content warning tags.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Drug abuse, Sexual violence, Torture, and Trafficking
Moderate: Addiction and Suicidal thoughts
I feel like i forgot to tag something. The trafficking, torture, sexual violence and drug abuse aren't conversational fodder between characters, but the doings of one the three main point of view characters. He delights in it and it felt very off-putting, having read the more recent works in the series before ever reading this. Also, this was published in 1995.
