3.5

Won in a giveaway. Different than what I’d usually pick up and enjoyable! Scenes of Cass losing her love hit me hard in the feels just a couple days after the six month mark of losing my late partner last November after an illness that physically consumed him like Ianthe, but was probably healing to read the words nonetheless. 

Recommend reviewing CWs for folks 💜

Content Warnings

Graphic: Chronic illness, Death, Terminal illness

Moderate: Addiction, Violence, Xenophobia

Minor: Drug abuse, Drug use, Death of parent, Murder, Abandonment

While not technically abandoned, a main character definitely struggles with feelings of abandonment, hence indicated as a minor CW, but it’s a fairly prominent theme for good sections of the novel, so could be considered moderate.
