This was wonderful, if a little overly long. RTC.
Graphic: Sexism, Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Grief
Moderate: Deadnaming, Alcoholism, Sexual content, Ableism, Addiction, Cursing, Kidnapping, and Drug abuse
Minor: Vomit, War, Classism, and Suicidal thoughts
The author gives further context and his own spoiler warnings within the book itself. Despite the fact the heroine is sometimes deadnamed, it is purely because people knew her before she transitioned (and they do not know that she has done so). It is never weaponised against her. The male love interest is disabled from the Napoleonic War and suffers with PTSD, using alcohol and laundenaum as coping mechanisms.
