I ADORED this book! I've always been a fan of Rick Riordan, but this has to take the cake. One of the main characters (not the protagonist) is autistic. They used identity first language and said she was autistic without tip-toeing around it. Being able to see a lovable character like that, who was like me? In a great story by one of my favorite authors would've been everything to my high school self, after I was diagnosed.
Moderate: Violence, Blood, and War
Minor: Animal death, Racism, and Torture
