A note for parents

A Blade So Black is a YA fantasy adventure with an African American protagonist that reimagines Alice in Wonderland in a darker, more mature tone. The story contains fantasy combat and some intense emotional themes, along with LGBTQ+ representation. While it has strong positive messages about courage and self-discovery, the darker atmosphere and occasional language make it better suited for older teens than younger readers.
