Censorship history
In 2024, "Blood of Elves" was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its portrayal of race and colonialism, as well as its violent content. Notably, the book faced challenges during school board meetings in states like Texas and Florida, where parents and advocacy groups raised formal complaints about its suitability for students. As a result of these challenges, the book was removed from school libraries in multiple districts, with some bans still being contested by advocates for literary freedom.
