Excessively dark and brutal I think, especially for a young audience. Although I don't believe in shielding children from darkness in literature, I don't think I would classify this as a children's book, some scenes were too graphically described. The writing is very good, engaging and something I would highly rate, but I am not sure I could actually recommend it to anyone, as I found it triggering where animal abuse and cruelty were involved.
