What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book handles medieval warfare and weaponry in a secular, direct manner. While it mentions battles and sieges, the use of LEGO figures sanitizes the violence, making it feel more like a strategic game than a bloody conflict. There is no depiction of realistic suffering or death.
