asked:
What is the age range for this book? Is there any explicit sexual content? I'd love to read it, and language and violence isn't a concern, but how mature is it?

It's certainly tamer than much of what kids can find on the internet, so even though it is adult fiction, I think a mature teenager (12+) could handle it. There is no explicit sex; it's probably PG-13 at most.
Vanessa (The Wolf & Her Books)
I'd say it's best suited for 18+. The target audience is adult. I think the picture of the girl on the cover might lead people to believe this is a light-hearted story about a rich girl. There are themes on race, colonization, gender, sexism, and there are incest overtones. The depictions of violence are more fantastical but gore-y. I don't recall explicit sexual content but there are definitely "sensual" scenes, if that makes sense.

I think it’s fine for age 15 plus but wouldn’t particularly recommend younger than that.
