References to drinking (brandy, malt, flasks) and smoking (cigars, cigarettes). Pets are killed.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Violence & Scariness in your kid's entertainment guide. Characters sacrifice themselves violently. Dead and dismembered bodies are described on more than one occasion some people die as the result of fights, while others are attacked and slaughtered. Lots of gory, gross descriptions related to the actions of the Styx women undergoing the Phase and the larvae that result - human bodies are treated as incubators and/or eaten with gusto. Early in the book, there's a deadly bombing incident involving someone who has been surgically altered (against her will) to carry an explosive inside her body (additional similar incidents are mentioned). Weapons include guns, knives, grenades, explosives, nuclear devices, and more. Sympathetic characters are killed, some quite shockingly, abruptly, or harshly. Near-constant danger, peril, and violence hanging over the whole book is the threat of the end of the world (or at least humanity).
