Great for older teens!
I absolutely LOVED Fire by Kristin Cashore. This book has it all, action, adventure, fantasy, romance, mystery. However, there are several things that parents should be aware of. In the book, the heroine, Fire, has casual sexual relations with one of the other characters. There are several mentions of rape and molestation, not graphic, but frequent enough to be mentioned. There is senseless violence towards animals and humans in the novel as well. However, on all counts, I would give the severity of each count a 6-7 rating out of 10. Not too much, but enough to be noticed. I hope that helps!

Very loose morality
The sex in this book is appalling. It is debase and inappropriate for kids of ANY age. It was truly a disappointment because Graceling was a good read, despite the two inappropriate lines that my 11 year old would not understand anyway, at least I hope he wouldn't. It is also written in such a way that it sounds "okay" to behave so poorly and make such poor choices. I have never written a book review before, but felt compelled to do so due to the lack of any morality in this book. My kid's Mom

Feminism overdone
I find this story rather predictable, for she always got her way and I think there is too much fuss over the whole 'beauty is a curse' ordeal as well as useless guards and nearly all the men characters are flat.
This story is simply a remake of Graceling.
I am disappointed at how the authoress doesn't really get into detail about the big bad of Graceling. She simply said 'oh hes bad' for no apparent reason.
