I loved this book. If blood makes you queasy then this one might be hard (it was sort of hard for me to get through those parts). But the bloody parts are more clinical than violent, so context helps. 

Beyond that content warning, I looooved this book. I immediately googled “does this book have a sequel?” because I just loved the characters so much and I want to continue to follow them. So far it is a standalone book (which is fine, there is no cliff hanger), but I hope the author writes more in this world. The magic system is very cool.
