This was a fun story that came highly recommended by a friend of mine and it was fun to binge the audiobook!
Gregor was precious and I loved his boldness and heart throughout the story. It's very much a middle grade fantasy meant to tug on the heartstrings while being exciting at the same time. With Gregor being 11, I was surprised by the amount of violence that happened in the book. There were a lot of morbid deaths that I would consider fairly descriptive for this age group, but I suppose that's to be expected from the author of The Hunger Games.
Overall, I think it was fun but I would caution young readers who might be sensitive to de@th to avoid the book. If you're a parent/guardian, feel free to message me if you'd like more details on the type of violence included. However, there was no cursing, nor romance of any kind in this book.
