Helpful Score: 2

This trilogy is well written, and I was riveted, but as a Christian parent of young children I had some concerns. I'm a fairly liberal intellectual, and I was surprised to find about halfway through the second book to find that the object of the books seemed to be an attack on organized religion and on deity. As fantasy fiction, it's fantastic, and it's wonderful to see such strong female characters and such focus on interpersonal relationships. If you're a Christian parent, I'd read through myself before deciding whether to share it with your kids, and I'd be sure to have frequent conversations about the content while they're reading. For adults, more mature children, and non-Christians, you're in for a real treat. It's not often kids' lit is this rich and frank.
