A note for parents
All the Birds in the Sky is a literary science fiction/fantasy novel centered on complex adult characters grappling with philosophical questions about technology, magic, and saving the world. While marketed as YA, it contains mature themes including dystopian anxiety, magical violence, and romantic/sexual elements that skew toward older teens. The protagonist characters are flawed and sometimes unlikeable, which adds emotional depth but requires maturity to appreciate.
