4.0

This is one of the most emotionally heavy fantasy series I’ve ever read. After rereading books 1 and 2, I remember why I never finished book 3 or started 4. While the story is well written, there’s so much brutality among these pages. It can be hard to digest.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Xenophobia, Child abuse, Genocide, Physical abuse, and Murder

Moderate: Violence and Sexual assault

There’s a lot of death and hatred in these pages. If you aren’t in a place where you can mentally deal with death/murder/torture/abuse, this is not the series for you.
