Summer (speaking_bookish) There are sexual nuances throughout the story- the act is implied, but there is no nudity or explicit scenes. I think the storyline is generally for adults but a young adult reading this wouldn’t be exposed to anything explicitly inappropriate in my opinion.

There is a scene where consent is questioned and it’s actually up to interpretation how that scene actually played out (since like I said the scenes are more implied) but it’s definitely questionable and like a prior person answered- a good message or lesson for a young person who may find themselves in a similar situation one day.

So, to summarize, I think this book would be ok for a YA/Teen reader on the older end of spectrum.
Maya Velasquez The webcomic definitely contains some mature topics for teenagers, I think I would give it an age rating of +16 or +18. However, it is a beautiful story with many nuances, and it takes a more mature understanding to enjoy and comprehend.
Sally There's a trigger warning at the beginning of the book for sexual assault/rape. I would say this is a book for YA readers rather than teen readers. There is a rape scene, but it is a depiction of the character's mental state during rather than a depiction of rape. With that, a mature teen could likely handle it.
Liliana Brown Lore Olympus (though a good book) contains adult language and deals with things such as sexual trauma that may not be appropriate for young readers. Lore Olympus uses heavy language in the first two issues but it lightens up around the third book.
