This is a bit vague on details because it's over a year since I backed away from this series, but for something that's recced so often to women, I am amazed at how potentially triggery it is.

But, in short: TRIGGER WARNINGS for rape, torture, and eating disorders, at the very least. The rape stuff is at its worst early in the series (Shards of Honor particularly), the eating disorder stuff peaks during Mirror Dance and (according to other people's reports) shows up again in A Civil Campaign. There's torture scattered all through, but the stuff I found most psychologically disturbing was also in Mirror Dance.

Eating disorders aren't something that people usually warn/anti-rec for, but I really REALLY wish they did for this series, and I will do everything in my power to let people know about it, because the content is extremely graphic, disturbing, and likely to trigger. It concerns a major POV character, and is a major part of his plot/characterisation.
