Its a good young fantasy. I don’t know if I’d quantify it as young adult or late middle school/early high school. The premise is unique and interesting but it felt a bit young for me (Which Is not a negative, just a comment on my tastes as a mid-30s reader).
Graphic: Violence, War, Misogyny, and Racism
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Trafficking
