I was super looking forward to this one mostly because it is set in the pre-Columbian americas and also because the cover is quite stunning. I ended up feeling a little let down. It was fine and had some things going for it, but I didn't feel very attached to the story or characters. The pace was slow at times and the character development was boring. The world is the most interesting part of this story. I wish I loved it more. I'm not sure if I'll continue the series.
Sexual violence? I don't remember any. Other triggers? Child abuse, animal abuse, murder.
Graphic: Child abuse and Violence
Moderate: Genocide, Animal death, and Death of parent
