There is not much of anything "inappropriate", but there are some pretty bloody battle scenes, which are fairly descriptive. There are no sex scenes, two characters kiss and that is it (it is not very " visual". Basically Hugo says "they kissed." and that is that.) Mostly you need to have a lot of patience to read this, because Hugo has a habit of droning on about subjects that don't seem like they benefit the story, but definitely do. Also, I am fourteen, and this book is one of my all-time favorites.(less)
