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: Terminal illness, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Ableism
Moderate: Blood, Body shaming, Child abuse, Grief, Classism, Bullying, Death, Child death, Emotional abuse, Medical content, and Medical trauma
Minor: Xenophobia, Deportation, Self harm, Car accident, Colonisation, War, Vomit, Misogyny, Mental illness, Injury/Injury detail, Sexism, Panic attacks/disorders, Murder, Gun violence, Death of parent, Torture, Confinement, and Violence
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

Graphic: Pandemic/Epidemic, Terminal illness, and Death
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Classism, Medical trauma, Xenophobia, and Forced institutionalization
Classic "evil stepmother abusive behavior" that you see in most fairy tales. Labeled the anti-cyborg sentiments as "classism" because I'm not sure what else to call it.theemeraldflame's review against another edition
