3.0
The change in tone from the previous book is staggering. It feels like there is very little magic, and parts of the stories world just get glossed over in a big way. The old characters were sidelined, and the character development felt scant in comparison. Also just, in general, a ripped from the headlines depressing book with an all-ends-tied happy end did NOT land.
Graphic: Trafficking, Slavery, Confinement, Sexual assault, Forced institutionalization, Police brutality, and Pregnancy
Moderate: Colonisation, Homophobia, and Terminal illness
Forced impregnation is a major plot point.
