I don't include the audio performer in my overall star review, but I'd give Rebecca Soler 3.75/5.0. There isn't much to say outside of her performance falling flat. It wasn't actively bad, but there wasn't enough excitement and variance in her narration to intrigue me; my inner reading dialogue is much more enthusiastic than her performance itself is.
Graphic: Ableism, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Terminal illness
Moderate: Classism, Grief, Body shaming, Child abuse, Child death, Medical trauma, Blood, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Death, and Medical content
Minor: Deportation, Car accident, Colonisation, Confinement, Murder, Violence, Death of parent, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, Self harm, Vomit, Xenophobia, Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail, Misogyny, Sexism, Torture, and War
Those listed in "graphic" are central themes, although the ableism is more of metaphor (Cinder is a cyborg and treated poorly because of it) than a direct commentary. Moderate categories listed are related to the death of a loved one in the plot, a medical research focus due to the epidemic theme, and the aforementioned ordeal of Cinder being cyborg. "Minor" category items are straightforward and not too present in the book.greenedreader's review against another edition
