The Shadowglass: The Bone Witch, Book 3

Many cursed innocents transform into monsters that look like giant insects and are fought in skirmishes and battles -- it takes hacking off of limbs and heads to kill them. Gory moments, like jets of blood, briefly described. Armies face undead and big monsters called daeva -- one spews venom that eats flesh of soldiers around it. Some wounds from using magic -- somehow a wind rune chops off a hand. A few sad deaths from stabbings. Mention that a man killed his insane father with a pillow to the face. Cities burned (with few casualties) and punches thrown. When the daeva are killed, a bezoar is cut from their heads.

Tea is sleeping with Kalen, with only one sex scene briefly described ("eager hands" and a "tangle of limbs"). LGBTQ couple kisses, and a straight couple shares a bed with nothing described.

"Shite bastard," spelled like that, plus more of "bastard," "ass," "bloody-assed," and "bitch," but not often.

A character under 17 drinks to drunkenness. Another drinks to excess and shouts out to bar full of men that her lover is good in bed. An older man smokes a cigar.

Parents need to know that The Shadowglass is the third book in the Bone Witch series by Rin Chupeco. Expect more of the same dark magic and dead creatures to inhabit this finale. Many cursed innocents transform into monsters that look like giant insects and are fought in skirmishes and battles -- it takes the hacking off of limbs and heads to finally kill them. There are gory moments, like jets of blood, briefly described. Armies also face the undead and big monsters called daeva -- one spews venom that eats the flesh of soldiers around it. Expect a few sad deaths, all from stabbings, as well as some light salty language (not worse than "bitch"), and one character under 17 gets drunk. The main character overdoes it too, and tells a bar full of men that her lover is great in bed. There are a few scenes of characters in bed, but only one that talks of "eager hands" and a "tangle of limbs." Otherwise, only kissing is described, with both straight and LGBTQ couples.
