It is so refreshing to have a vicar and the church be represented as enjoying creativity instead of stifling it!!!

No major concerns; admittedly some (age-appropriate) battles as the heroes resist oppression, fight horrible creatures, and rescue a kidnapped author/father.

Fun fact: the Inklings, the Rabbit Room, and characters C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Dorothy Sayers are all represented as strong characters that play a key part in the rescue.
