A Court of Wings and Ruin

Multiple significant characters die, including allies and loved ones; grief, sacrifice, and the emotional consequences of war are important.

Blood, wounds, bodily harm, and some disturbing injury imagery occur, especially during battles and torture, but gore is not the sole focus.

Frequent profanity, insults, crude remarks, and sexually suggestive language appear in this adult fantasy novel.

LGBTQIA characters and relationships are present, including meaningful secondary representation, but they are not the central romantic storyline.

Fantasy deities, worship-like practices, supernatural beliefs, and references to gods shape the world, but organized religion is not the main subject.

The central relationship is prominent, emotionally intense, and includes bonding, commitment, jealousy, conflict, and reconciliation.

Threatening creatures, imprisonment, torture, peril, war, captivity, and supernatural danger create sustained frightening tension.

Several explicit sexual encounters and sexual references occur between consenting adult characters; sexuality is significant but not the entire plot.

Characters consume alcohol, often in social or celebratory contexts.

War, torture, executions, assaults, magical attacks, and repeated combat are central. Violence can be intense, though much is fantastical.
