Moderate Themes
Liza's brother has had his soul stolen and she must navigate a dangerous underworld to save him; themes of courage, the power of love, and facing fear are central; the novel has dark fairy tale elements and genuine menace.
Moderate Violence
The spindlers are genuinely creepy creatures who steal souls; Liza faces various dangers in the underground; violence is fantastical but carries real stakes.
