I don't include the audio performer in my overall star review, but I'd give Rebecca Soler 3.75/5.0. There isn't much to say outside of her performance falling flat. It wasn't actively bad, but there wasn't enough excitement and variance in her narration to intrigue me; my inner reading dialogue is much more enthusiastic than her performance itself is.
Graphic: Terminal illness, Ableism, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Moderate: Classism, Emotional abuse, Medical trauma, Death, Blood, Body shaming, Child abuse, Child death, Grief, Medical content, and Bullying
Minor: Mental illness, Misogyny, Injury/Injury detail, Colonisation, Gun violence, Torture, Violence, Car accident, Deportation, Sexism, War, Confinement, Death of parent, Murder, Panic attacks/disorders, Xenophobia, Self harm, and Vomit
Those listed in "graphic" are central themes, although the ableism is more of metaphor (Cinder is a cyborg and treated poorly because of it) than a direct commentary. Moderate categories listed are related to the death of a loved one in the plot, a medical research focus due to the epidemic theme, and the aforementioned ordeal of Cinder being cyborg. "Minor" category items are straightforward and not too present in the book.isabelgrace18's review
