This is the third of the books. I should say that the father of the series was killed off in the first book, Graceling and you learn about him in book 2, Fire. He was a very evil character. So there is mention of his crimes. He had raped, killed and hurt people. It happens all off pages. But I did wish to be sensitive to anyone who is thinking about reading the books. They are good books. Also can be entertaining for adults to read as well. This is a book about healing, a country healing, people healing and facing the hard terrible truths.
