Thanks! Yes, I totally see where you’re coming from. I remember reading The Maze Runner and thinking, “oh, not to horrible, but not great” until I got to the last page. The book was okay until the author decided to drop enough gore to disgust me out. And I am not one easily disgusted. I, for one, don’t mind violence in stories, unless it’s taken waay to far, like the end of The Maze Runner. The description in that part was totally unnecessary. (And don’t get me wrong. I love the series. But some parts of it I could do without. *cough* R.I.P. Newt *distant sobbing*)

Thanks! I am planning on marketing this book to 15+, kind of like Jill Williamson’s Blood of King’s series, I believe. But don’t worry, I’m trying to not make the tone dark. Like… I need it dark in some spots, but not through the entire series. Just enough to make everyone cry when all their favorite charries die…. *evil laugh*

Not to mention my villain is over 10,000 years old, very detached, and sad, really. And partially insane. (But that’s what happens when you’re alive for that long and stupid humanity keeps making the same mistake over. And over. Again. It’s frustrating for poor old Arius. You can’t really rule the world when it keeps destroying itself, can you?)

Thanks! Yes, I’m marketing to an older audience, so this books not really for younger kiddos. I’d let my 13 year old sister read it, but any younger than that I think wouldn’t be fitting. Not that it really has super dark content in it… But it asks a lot of hard questions and there is violence. It’s kind of like Lotr movies. Blood, some gore, lots of evil black orc-creatures, Sauron, and darkness, but in the end, lots of happiness and hope.

Haha, “too”. I noticed that as well… but I wrote this when I was pretty tired, so…. XD I’ll have to see if I can fix it. If not…. here is living proof of how bad my grammar is when I’m not officially writing. 😉
