5.0
Graphic: Colonisation, Child abuse, Death of parent, Grief, Gun violence, Xenophobia, Violence, Racism, Murder, Misogyny, Classism, and Racial slurs
Moderate: Hate crime, Suicidal thoughts, War, and Confinement
Minor: Religious bigotry, Body horror, Suicide, Slavery, Genocide, and Deportation
Violence/injury detail is infrequent and not too upsetting. Most of the content warnings are because this is a book that explicitly deals with colonization and its effects, and the difficult task of fighting against it.
