Some YA books focus on the mostly innocent tension between tweens and teens, or move towards kissing as the culmination of the physical relationship between the characters. My mom said that these books are downright. 'pornographic'. They ARE NOT! (they do have a few cringe love scenes but not very descriptive) Its not like parents can hide this from kids anyway. They always find a way. SO what are they gonna do, Protect us forever. Most of the main characters are described as having dark or golden skin. The story takes place in a fantasy world with extremes of wealth and poverty. Many characters resist being limited by stereotypes. As an adult who has read a lot of romance novels, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary or even that explicit. But if you are a parent reviewing a series for your child who is younger, this might not be the series for you if you are wanting to keep your child from reading books that contain descriptions of adult activities.

In a book where the main character is a career assassin, everyone is morally complex and often conflicted. Celaena's plans to bolt at the first opportunity are complicated by growing bonds of friendship, respect, and hope for a better world. Dorian, the teen prince who loves books and doesn't want to be like his father, is a notorious ladies' man but also devoted to Celaena; his lifelong BFF Chaon, the brave captain of the guard, is also in love with her and protects her from assorted dangers. Mysterious Princess Nehemia, visiting from a conquered kingdom, befriends Celaena and reveals unexpected depths. A long-dead Fae queen takes a hand in opposing dark forces -- like the king. For teens or younger readers, I do hesitate a bit. Yes, these books are technically in the YA genre. But there is a lot of fighting, a lot of sword swinging and killing going on in these books. Some readers might be disappointed that romance isn’t a more integral part of the books. There are some really great romance adventure novels out there, but I guess that’s what I like about a lot of the fantasy novels in the YA genre. The romance is there, but it isn’t more important than the adventure and challenges (I’m thinking of the Renegade series by Marissa Meyer, the Eona/Eon books by Alison Goodman, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and others).

Amazing book! Love the series in general! I'm up to book 5, and btw, I'm not a parent, I am thirteen years old and am just doing that to get it free. also, if you're under 13 years old, would not recomend because of all the violence and sex. it's very good though, don't get me wrong. so if you're 13+, please read! The Prince enters her into a competition to become the King’s champion, and the book unfolds as Celaena works her way through the competition, learns more about herself, and faces down horror after horror that her world throws at her. Personally I love romance so this series is amazing to me, but if the child doesn't like/understand romance they they probably wont like this. I know it sounds weird but many of the romantic scenes from the fifth book up may scare sheltered children. Well as long as the kid is mature enough to not make a big fuss about what is in that book (which is mostly kissing and blood and no sex)Having waited for a long time to see on Sarah's blog that this would be published, I almost started crying when I found out it would be - the only reason I didn't was that I had gone quite numb from excitement A fan on Goodreads Did you know you can flag iffy content?
