5.0
I really enjoyed this book, as much on this read as I did the first time. It's fun and adventurous, with just enough drama.
Moderate: Gore, War, Death, Death of parent, and Torture
Minor: Child death and Child abuse
There are multiple scenes where a city has been attacked or even wiped out by an army, including one somewhat graphic description of an infant that had been killed. A character is tortured, physically and emotionally, and there are some descriptions of that and some brief mentions of child abuse. One large battle scene, with descriptions of violence and some gore.
