Some of the heroes in this series are midwives, who pass magic on to sun-blessed children and later train these same children to use their gifts.What audiences is the series appropriate for?This trilogy is clean fantasy. There is no cursing, explicit sexual content, or gory violence. It's appropriate for teen and adult audiences.
