- Trans protagonist (written by a trans author) ✅
- Murder mystery ✅
- Set in the Victorian era ✅
- Upfront trigger warnings ✅
- VENGEANCE!!!! (no bs about forgiveness) ✅

Moderate: Miscarriage, Rape, Vomit, Suicide attempt, Lesbophobia, and Colonisation
Minor: Animal death, Genocide, Infertility, Sexual content, and Terminal illness
There was no specific option for animal dissections or something close enough to it listed here, so I thought I'd make note of it. Everything that is done to animals in this book is post-mortem, though it's still graphic.cluelessavian's review against another edition
