4.0
The world of the series really opens up in this volume. It also gets darker and we learn more about the characters and the limits of alchemy. It’s all very involving with moral quandaries and thematically doubled match ups for conflicts. It’s intense ideologically as opposed to in action depicted which still dips in and out of aggressive violence
Content Warnings
Graphic: Ableism, Body horror, Body shaming, Bullying, Confinement, Death, Gore, Gun violence, Mental illness, Self harm, Torture, Violence, Xenophobia, Grief, Medical trauma, Murder, Gaslighting, War, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
All of these themes are present but framed within the fantasy world that the characters live in. I just put everything in the graphic category though most of it is honestly in the moderate category. I can always use more hence 4.0
