Definitely heavy themes like other hunger games books but didn’t feel as dark or violent as those. I didn’t noticed any cursing but the themes still make me question why this series was marketed as a YA book. I doubt teens understand the significance of these books from a critical thinking standpoint and the themes are so heavy.
