dungeonmasterteacher's review against another edition
4.0
Volume two is still pretty great. I believe the larger story that becomes the series focus starts in volume three, so this one is still focused on developing characters.
I will be putting this in my class, but there is some heavy content. There's a scene early on where one of the villains knocks out the female lead, then him and his gang get ready to "take advantage" of her. The villain is not a sympathetic character and it's very obvious what he is doing is wrong. The scene is not explicit, and the female lead is not shown in a titillating or erotic way. None of the characters get specific about what they will do once she's unconscious. I would say this is probably good for 13+, but check in with the kid after they read it. It would be hard to misread the scene, but it could be a good opportunity to talk about consent.
