Jack Repenning’s Reviews > Last Argument of Kings > Status Update

While the first book in this trilogy is only minimally “grim dark,” things get grimmer and darker in the second book, and by the third things are just about unbearable. By the time I finished the second, I wasn’t sure I could recommend the series to YA readers; by the end of this book I’ve got to say I really don’t feel I can recommend it for anyone.

There is some really explicit sex. There is oceans of gore.
