Iron Flame

Similar to the first book, most characters are White. The main character is a woman who is not described as conventionally athletic. There are sex positive representations of men and women, but men are mostly valued for their conventionally masculine traits (muscles, strength, fighting ability, "darkness"). Mostly heteronormative representations of relationships and coupling, with only a spare reference here and there to queer romances or couples.

A fair amount of violence, but all of it is wrapped in a clear fantasy package. Fighting and war has combat, fist fights, wrestling, knife fights, stabbings, wounds, blood, and death. People are burned to death by dragon fire, people die from broken necks, stabbings, neck slashes, arrow punctures, and sword impaling. A group of people are drugged, kidnapped, and tied up in cells. People are physically tortured for days, experiencing physical pain, broken bones, fingers, beatings, threats, and deprivation. Dragons and other creatures get killed, run through with blades, felled by magic, have their throats ripped out by other dragons. Characters are drugged and taken advantage by "potions" that have magical effects. Some potions make them lose their magical powers, while other potions make them pass out.

There are a few pages-long explicit descriptions of sex and sex acts, including oral sex. A woman and a man have sex a handful of times. There are descriptions of body parts, including the penis ("c--k"), "clit," and breasts, thrusting, climaxes and orgasms, stroking, rubbing, fingering, touching, nipple sucking, kissing, and "being taken" and "losing control." Characters often talk about their longing for their lovers. The main character often comments on her sexual desire for her lover, often commenting on what she "would do" to him, want to do, etc.

Frequent strong language throughout includes: "f--k," "f---ing," "s--t," "a--hole," "c--k," "d--k," "clit," "ass," "bitch," and "damn."

Characters drink "buzzy lemonade," beer, and "pitchers of ale."
