4.0
Graphic: Panic attacks/disorders and Chronic illness
Moderate: Murder, Police brutality, and Alcohol
Minor: Ableism and Sexism
There are murders that take place on the spaceship, but not in view and descriptions are mild.
The main character suffers from panic attacks and chronic back pain due to an explosion that killed her coworkers that she blames herself for . I thought it was portrayed compassionately and shows the character's strength, but you do see things directly from her point of view during these moments, and they repeat throughout the book.
