Critique:
The book is very gory but the wording is spectacular and very educative, the themes aren’t bad meaning Fantasy and magic not drugs and sex. There is a bit of sex in throne of glass but nothing too bad and most of the book is actually about the fighting, training and life in the castle. I recommend this to 10 -13 year olds because i reckon most 10 year olds can handle a bit of sex in the book and the wording is very educative, overall the book is simply great.
