Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods

The Underland Chronicles

Content Ratings

No Romance

Gregor's connection to Luxa deepens into something more than friendship; the emotional bond is tender but does not cross into romantic content.

Moderate Themes

The novel deals directly with watching loved ones suffer from illness, the fear of losing everyone one cares about, and the psychological weight of a child being repeatedly placed at the center of civilizational crises.

Moderate Violence

Characters fall ill and die from the plague; violent encounters with jungle creatures and enemies occur; the deaths of named characters carry real emotional weight.

Synopsis

A deadly plague is sweeping through the warmblood creatures of the Underland, and Gregor sets out on a dangerous mission to find a cure in the jungle, racing against time as those he loves begin to fall ill. The most emotionally intense installment yet, dealing directly with disease, sacrifice, and loss. Collins continues to explore increasingly heavy themes through the lens of middle-grade adventure.
