Moderate warnings are all discussed internal monologue and have brief scenes further discussing between characters. Dementia is not outright for the suffering character (his mind is described as "shattered") but it mirrors it. Autistic character is treated very well by family but there is one scene where someone insists he doesn't use his headphones (noise regulation tool) and makes eye contact. Characters also discuss larger bigotry in the Clave surrounding those who the Clave (not his family) call "mad" this is the forced institutionalization. It does not happen, only discussed.

got this book at christmas, absolutely loved it and look forward to reading the next two. the pacing was great, there always felt like there was something going and keeping you entertain while still giving you time to get to know the characters and their surroundings. the plot was enjoyable and it was fun trying to piece together the clues alongside the characters. also the many relationships (platonic and not) were well written as was the book itself.

This starts out a bit slow but once the ball is rolling it’s ROLLING. Plenty of action and surprises to keep things interesting. The romance was nice and not as rushed as it is in the mortal instruments. Up until the epilogue though it felt like this book could be a stand alone so I’m curious how the story will proceed without feeling forced.
