Is this book appropriate for children? It has a reading level rating of 5.7 (fifth grade). It's also classified under children's books on Amazon, but my sister mentioned that it may not be appropriate for her. She's a very mature 8 year old, reading at 7th grade level. Can handle violence and dark subject matter fine. She's finishing the Harry Potter series now and loves it.

They are NOT fantasy books similar to Harry Potter! These books are more about the power/political alliances and kings and queens and Merlin's role in helping Uther Pendragon come to power. I would say it demands a more sophisticated and intelligent reader--for both children AND adults. These books are much better than most of the YA crap being published now. (less)
