It seems like this book, based on the content warnings, is much darker than it is. That said, it is quite heavy and covers a vast number of topics during a time of war and a period where women had little power. And given Meilin’s power, she goes through, witnesses, and does a number of horrible things. It’s an integral part of the story.
