If I had more than a few friends following this account [originally written on Instagram], I could see myself getting canceled for this review. 😆🙈 So many circles of readers RAVE about this series, but I guess I’m not cool enough!
I even listened to a podcast episode that had the author responding to the fact that this book causes nightmares. It was disappointing how he responded, but that is obviously subjective.
The book says 8-12, but I disagree. Unless your child has already had a good dose of desensitization with evil fantasy jargon and media, I’d recommend age 10+.
It is very easy to read with short sentences and basic vocabulary. I’d love to hear if you’ve read further into the series and what you thought! Drop me a line. ♥︎
