    Thoughts from 0% (page 1) - CONTENT WARNING

    Content warnings for this book according to Storygraph and my reading experience! I'm currently only half way through the book, so I don't know the actual intensity of some of these, and some might be wrong or not detailed enough. If any are missing or in the wrong category, please comment and i'll add details. I wanted to do this considering the upcoming summer readalong :)

    The content is separated in GRAPHIC, MODERATE, and MINOR, where some have more detail on the content in parentheses. I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but some of the details are spoiler-ish.

    UPDATE: I finished the book! I tried my best with the content warning details, but some are still missing or inaccurate, so I would appreciate any help! I'm also not 100% sure for some of the content's category. I'm hesitating between Graphic, Moderate and Minor for some of these so I would love everyone's opinion :)

    -GRAPHIC-

Violence (Sexual, physical, verbal violence suffered by the main characters and sometimes done by main characters.) War (War with Iraq. Bombing. Sirens. Rumbles. Displacement.)

    -MODERATE-

Death of parent (Mention of by side character dead parents. Death of a parent of a main character in the book's timeline.) Fire/Fire Injury (Mention of a premeditated fire that kills several people. Actual REAL LIFE EVENT of Cinema Rex Fire.) Grief (Death of a husband, friend, father.) Incarceration (Main character incarcerated for political activism.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    This one was way too short. That it was kinda like what was the point. Also, what is sad to me is little time is spent on the part that makes this story unique. It seems like the author doesn't care about that aspect, but it could show the author's creativity. Little time is spent on their life after being mated too. I initially thought we'd get more info on life after as the story progressed, but essentially we are getting a sped up version of book one. I am disappointed.
