Trigger Warnings

Author-Provided Warnings

The following content warnings are included on the author's website:

  • Past domestic abuse
    Winter’s Orbit contains a main character who was in a past abusive relationship, has told no one, and is only just starting to heal. Although he doesn’t admit it to himself in narration, this affects his interactions with others throughout the whole book. The climax contains multiple short flashbacks to the abusive relationship, including incidences of emotional abuse, one flashback in which the two characters in the abusive relationship are implied to have had sex with dubious consent, and one with an act of physical intimidation. Although these are short and sparsely detailed, if this content warning is a significant one for you this book may be one to avoid.
  • Interrogation
    An interrogation scene uses a hospital bed and a medical-type device to attempt to brainwash one of the protagonists, artificially triggering the flashbacks above.

Additional Trigger Warnings

  • Mental torture
