I really enjoyed the world building while also appreciating that it didn't go into extreme detail. What needs knowing is explained naturally, and what is unexplained is unexplained in the way that somethings just aren't knowable, as opposed to totally dropped and then never mentioned again.
There is a dash of a romance, it happens towards the end, but is frankly easy to breeze past if you are uninterested- no kissing, even.
Also: good dog! And good chickens, for certain definitions of 'good'.

Graphic: Body horror
Moderate: Domestic abuse
The opening scene is the most graphic it gets in terms of blood and such. None of the named animals die (the unnamed animal deaths are p brief references to animals hunted for food).
