Reviewer Comments:

I recommend this book for older teens and adults. It explores some very difficult subjects, such as good and evil. All the characters don’t make the right choices, leading to violent and emotionally upsetting situations. The book can be especially upsetting for young readers as children suffer and die.

However, the message of the book is an important one to understand. It’s about political power and inequality in society. It also explores how easily a society can accept violence as normal and even entertaining.
