4.0
I watched the TV series before reading the book and I think it made it easier to keep the characters straight. Otherwise I think all the names and people could be overwhelming to keep track of while understanding the world.
Moderate: Infidelity, War, Death of parent, and Murder
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Blood, Animal death, Rape, Physical abuse, Incest, Slavery, and Sexual content
The book is less graphic than the TV show. There are characters you love and ones you love to hate. It is a wild ride in search of justice and peace.
