Two characters talk about wanting to die rather than face the difficulties in their lives and a mother wants her son killed after he killed her husband. There are kidnapings, imprisonments, short skirmishes with swords and a mace, and falls and rescues from great heights. A man is tortured by the devil figure, Iblees all that's seen is screaming and bruises. The story starts with a king recently murdered and a prince nearly killed in a fight with swords and magic. Though, unlike the first book, a few uses of "f-k" slip into the dialogue this time. Like in the first book, teen readers need to be more prepared for the higher level of reading required than for a lot of mature content - the character dialogue alone will definitely boost their vocabulary. Parents need to know that Tahereh Mafi's These Infinite Threads is the second book of the This Woven Kingdom fantasy series by the author of the very popular Shatter Me series.
