book question

[fiachairecht]

Hi, friends! I need someone who's read Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant to answer a question for me before I pick it up. Vague spoilers under the cut, probably more specific ones in comments.

I read a list of content warnings for it and forced pregnancy came up. How big of a thing is that? Is it skippable at all? The book looks so very my thing but pregnancy in any form is usually a no-go for me.

If it's not skippable, is there anything similar you'd rec without the thing?

Oh, agreed. Obviously there's no predicting when one throwaway detail is going to stick in someone's head exactly the wrong way, but I feel like if I were already taking the time and effort to compile a content advisory for an entire novel, especially that kind of one, it probably wouldn't be too much extra time and effort to annotate (approx. number of mentions, plot-bearing, experienced by major character?) along the way.
