There are a few minor to moderate injuries described in moderate detail throughout the book. Some of the character's also spend time confined to a cell. There's some violence and death as their adventure progresses, and there's also death towards the beginning of the book that sets the stage for the adventure.hanna's review against another edition

The worldbuilding had so much potential (matriarchies <3) but the characters didn't deliver. At some point it wasn't "haha this author doesn't have siblings" anymore but "...has this author ever seen siblings interact?". It was SO inconsistent — they all dislike each other, you can run away from your family or imprison your brother without major emotional consequences but we're still supposed to believe they have this intrinsic sibling bond in the second part which didn't work for me at all.
This would've been great if it had been reworked into middle grade! Not everything needs sub-plot romance(s) but a more developed family relationship would've made this so much more fun!
