A note for parents

This is the second book in Schwab's Shades of Magic series, a dark fantasy with complex characters and significant magical worldbuilding. While it features adventure and compelling protagonists who show courage and growth, the book contains moderate violence, ominous supernatural threats, and mature themes suitable for older teens. The diverse cast includes LGBTQ+ representation, and the story rewards cleverness, perseverance, and moral complexity.
