Aran Johnson asked this question about The Sword of Shannara Trilogy (Shannara, #1-3):
My 9 year old son has started reading this. I'm curious if there are any adult themes in this book like the kinds of things that show up in a series like Game of Thrones or Hunger Games? He is familiar with the Lord of the Rings and has read the first 5 Harry Potter Books.
Jerrodm I'd say yes - there are some suspenseful moments and peril, and some scenes of high-fantasy violence (swordfights, blood streaming from wounds, etc.),…moreI'd say yes - there are some suspenseful moments and peril, and some scenes of high-fantasy violence (swordfights, blood streaming from wounds, etc.), but nothing too explicitly gruesome. If he's got a very vivid imagination some of the demon-like creatures in the story might give him the frights. Apart from those things, which are quite standard fare for this kind of book, I don't think there's anything to be too concerned about.(less)
