This book tackles a lot of heavy topics (colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism) but I think it does it well. Anequs was an easy character to like, though I felt she had less depth than many of the other characters. This was definitely more character driven than plot driven, which was not necessarily what I was expecting but I am excited to see where the series goes.
Graphic: Ableism, Colonisation, and Classism
Moderate: Misogyny
Minor: Animal death, Homophobia, and Transphobia
