What a fun adventure this one was. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did and I'm so glad my gut was wrong. This one had heart, grit, violence, romance, surprises, and more.

Graphic: Violence

Moderate: Violence

Minor: Racial slurs

There are some slurs/antiquated terms for non-white people contained in this one. I struggle with this because it is written as a diary of someone at the supposed time, but also it's 2024 and there could probably be ways around using those terms that would still honor the historical-fiction-ness of it.
