![]() One can admire that there are many references to taking an herb to avoid pregnancy (some notion of "safe sex"), but as this is in a fantasy land, there are apparently no sexually-transmitted diseases, so no concern over that. The part that bothered me in general is that in all the books in the trilogy, there is the general message that sex is a casual thing between friends (particularly prevalent in "Graceling", the second book, where two characters get together just to "hook-up"). ![]() in the series (particularly the last one, "Bitterblue")-all in all, pretty grim. ![]() There are mentions of rapes, visions of torture and murder, etc. This is handled mostly pretty well, but it bears pointing out (spoiler alert) that the protagonist is a hired thug to rough-up or kill others (although she has a conscience about it). The series contains a lot of violence-from fighting, wars, and torture (of animals, and in later books, of people).
