For the worst of the body horror/gore:

At one point, a person’s death is described, and it includes a good deal of blood and a twisted spine, though not much more detail than that, and the death itself is not as upsetting as one might expect. At another point, a few body parts of children (no longer attached to said children) are described briefly, but only for a sentence or two, and they are not exactly real.

This series is so captivating and interesting and stunning to read.  Seeing all the character development was amazing, it’s a very nice balance between characters and plot.  The humor was amazing and the overall writing is so lovely to read.  I really liked seeing Ronan and Blue have more of a friendship (though I don’t think either of them would admit it) seeing them be stubborn or them saying something the other’s wouldn’t dare say—very fun to read.  It was also nice to see Adam working on letting people help him without him thinking it was because of where—or how—he grew up.  He started to see that his friends just wanted to be there for him and it was just written so nicely.
