Content Warnings

Graphic: Murder, Death, and Grief

Moderate: Child death and Panic attacks/disorders

Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Blood, Suicide, and Death of parent

Even though the main characters are openly queer, there is no homophobia in this fictional world, which was surprisingly refreshing Obviously death is a very big topic in this book but I think it deals with it quite well and in a way that does not claim to know all the answers and explanations but rather like a hug, with kind and patient words and a vision of hope
