Great book dealing with feminist themes, with a dash of romance on the side (I'll be honest, I could have done without it, but it was okay to have it included in the story). Be aware that the setting is heavily misogynistic, and the MC is dealing with severe anxiety/panic attacks.
Graphic: Mental illness, Misogyny, Panic attacks/disorders, Violence, and Abandonment
Moderate: Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, Gaslighting, and Sexual harassment
Minor: Blood and War
