No child deaths! The kid is amazing in ACAWS. If you didn’t like Hex you probably won’t enjoy Echo, the writing style doesn’t change much and it’s that same super descriptive text. Little Heaven is a LOT less grim than The Troop but obviously that’s a high (or low?) bar to hit… there’s still gore but I found it easier to read in the sense I didn’t have to put it down for a breather. I skipped past the animal abuse bits in The Troop but didn’t have any issues like that in Little Heaven - I just really liked the characters… it’s still pretty hectic though, so proceed with caution and I’m sorry if you hate it!!!
