4.5
Graphic: Misogyny, Slavery, Trafficking, Sexual harassment
Moderate: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, War
Minor: Torture, Abortion
The prevalent theme throughout the book is of women being auctioned and used as sex slaves and there is moderate description of the use of an elixir that makes them more willing to perform sexual acts for those who purchased them. There are also mentions of rape, and descriptive non-consentual touching throughout.
