Review: Very Good . . . But VERY Violent

This is an excellent book and an excellent series.  I don't think it is for young children.  Older children, probably.  There is a lot of violence.  It fits in with the story, but there is a lot of killing.  I can see 9-12 year olds having nightmares from some of the violence.The story is interesting.  The children are heroic.  The writer does an excellent job of reimagining OZ if it was tainted.  But for a children's book it's hyper violent.  A parent should read this themselves first before giving it to a child.
