For parents
What Parents Should Know
The series deals directly with a parent's death, grief, racism, enslavement and ancestral trauma. It also includes demons, possession, blood magic, kidnappings, imprisonment, torture, battles, serious injuries, and deaths.
Romantic tension involves more than one potential partner, but the sustained danger, coercion, and emotional intensity are more important age considerations than the romance. The publisher recommends the books for ages 14 and up.
