Sounds great! I on the other hand was given Iain Banks as a young teen and told never to look back 😂 I do often wonder if it has damaged my reading preferences well into adulthood…

Oh for sure a no then. It’s definitely a difficult age to find good stuff for, especially fantasy/sci-fi. I feel your pain!

Caution is always best with these things! It hits me hard even as an adult - but I also admit I was probably reading age inappropriate things back then lol!

Depends on where they are in KS2 I would say. Nothing explicit in terms of relationships, but WoK specifically is pretty heavy on the violence (generic fantasy war) and could be quite heavy on the mental health side of things (CW for a failed suicide attempt). Great series, proceed with caution?

Accountability update: a good day today, written most of what I wanted to write plus some more erroneous planning. Now for some tea and a podcast so I can close my eyes.
