Spoiler Corner: Book 1 Content Notes

[skylarkrogers]

I'm calling these "notes" rather than "warnings" as a deliberately more neutral term. It does include warnings, but does not solely consist of warnings: This contains a whole mix of stuff that appears in the series that people might like to know ahead of time. Think of it kind of like tags on a fic site. The following categories are very rough and some of their entries fit multiple categories.
