For those who've read this book, any guidance for appropriate age-range? Is this too "adult" for a 10-yr old?

Stacie I agree with Katelyn. I have a 10 and 11 year old. I won’t be letting them read it. It deals with some heavy topics that I don’t think they need to be dealing with at this age.
Katelyn Yes this is too adult for a ten year old. This is very much an adult novel, with lots of swear words and some pretty heavy topics.
Ellie Wright This is not a YA book. It is targeted for adults and I would say it is NA. I would not recommend for anyone under 16yo. It is a fantastic book though so I recommend it for adults.
Joyce There is one (positive, consentual) sex scene, lots of death, some blood and gore, swearing, and the description of a traumatizing past torture event.

I would say it's probably not for kids under 13 or 14.
Camila Lobianco I agree with Joyce. I just have to add that the sex scene is not explicit (at least in my opinion).
Jennifer Maloney This is an adult genre, not middle grade or YA.
