Please be careful in this forum there are several comments on posts that are spoilers. I stopped reading posts in case anyone comments something bigger. I have reported them up to 30%, but felt like I was spamming the report feature.

PSA if you know what happens don't confirm people's speculations in their comments! Its fun to try to solve the mystery or call out character development ect, but people posting are not looking for confirmation, they are looking for discussion with others who are at the same place in the book.

Even emojis can imply that someone has guessed something correctly. Please don't do it.

Based on the spoiler comments I have ruled out certain suspects who should not be ruled out at this point.

Tread carefully readers!

About the book: I knew nothing going into this book & am listening to the audio. I am sometimes confused when the author transitions characters between scenes/places. I am thinking there could be some context in the chapter titles which is left out in audio format but this has been a minor issue so far.

I just saw @Olivka's post about wanting more YA books in quests and readalongs where some boundlings said that many books to earn badges aren't very mature even if they aren't marketed to a younger audience.

While I am not underage, I am not too inclined towards reading books with sexual themes and spicy scenes. I also have a teen sibling who is a voracious reader and I've just introduced them to PB and they love it. I do wish though that there were quests I could confidently recommend for that age group except the two I know are MG.

My suggestion is that there can be an addition of a spice and age rating system (much like for movies) that allows interested readers to decide if they want to read a book at first glance. I am aware that sites like StoryGraph and romance.io have these features of trigger warnings and and spice ratings, which use often. But it would be preferable to have everything all in one place and there was a better way of judging how appropriate a book is. What are your thoughts on this?
