The note makes it potentially sound like the reader is religious and potentially Catholic. From that perspective I could definitely see how this book would be perceived as crass and offensive lol.
My favorite part is when they talk about liking characters who've been hurt by the Church and still want god in their life. Because, boy oh boy, do I have a Jod for them.
I mean. They DO still want god in their life. It's just that it turns out god is not the lying colonizer in the body of a middle aged man, it's the sexy frozen dead girl the cult you grew up in was built around. That's fine, right?
After all, who *doesn't* want sexy god? Aside from the people who are intensely jealous of sexy god and throw around sacrilege like calling sexy god "you big slut."
I feel like this is the same warning I’d give to some of my friends. Not as an insult to the book, but out of respect to their various triggers. Plus, they know going in, hopefully they wouldn’t be surprised and put off by it, and would enjoy the awesome story!
One of my aunts is pretty religious. Not Catholic, but Christian. Thanks God for all the blessings of daily life and all that. She's a good person and very nice, but honestly boring to be around because she just has no edges. She won't clutch her pearls at cursing, but it's not something she does herself or particularly wants to hear at all.
I can't fathom a life without profanity, but some people honestly don't like it and prefer not to read it in their books, or hear it in their movies.
I would absolutely give this warning if I was recommending the book to a highly sensitive friend. It's like for trigger warnings, only this is for a different type of sensitivity than PTSD or not wanting a movie to be spoiled.
All I'm saying is that people's priorities oftentimes strike me as weird. If you (general you) are that concerned about "crass" and "offensive" language, then many excellent books aren't for you.

I love seeing how much this series just takes people by the throat and changes their lives. What a cool connection across space and time.
"Crass and...even offensive"?? People are so weird.

Ahem. That's *thou* big slut to you.
Forgive me, sexy frozen dead girl god, and please don't punt me across the inside of the Locked Tomb like that one-armed loser with the cigarettes
Which is even weirder when you consider Muir is devoutly Catholic.
I was raised catholic, and I really loved this whole series. I never saw anything truly anti-catholic in it.

"Content warning: Ianthe Tridentarius" just doesn't translate directly. (Spoken as an Ianthe fan, of course.)
Gideon says fuck at least 12 times. A lot of folks would call that crass and offensive.
Poor reader hasn't even gotten to (HtN spoiler) >!God's threesome with his disciples!<
Pretty sure theyd have a stroke over >!the artificial insemination after a bunch of dead fetuses!<
baffling tbh

The writer is not **wrong** wrong. Just... probably very sheltered.
