This is certainly informative, especially so since I don't usually go in for biomedical engineering. It was published in 2018, but according to my research (read: I looked at the article "artificial heart" on Wikipedia) nobody's yet managed to make a complete one that's available for anything other than experiments.
Were this a videogame, its subject matter would get rated: T15+ for gore, because this is heart surgery.
However, the book handles it in a way that's: also T15+, but for strong language (including one instance of The Cardinal Swearword) and some sexual references.

Behold the third book in this trilogy (second book here). I probably won't ever read the first book, but you never know.
We do manage to |defeat the angry uber-Luddites for good| in this one, courtesy of |finding a hidden science facility| (Aperture Science, anyone?) and any sufficiently advanced technology being indistinguishable from magic. And if you live in a world that's been forcibly regressed to medieval times, modern technology counts as sufficiently advanced.
Were this a videogame, I'd rate it: T for the same things as the other one.

This is an interesting look at how to handle sudden grief and other strong emotions, but I'm not sure I needed that from a Minecraft book.
At least they have their version be explicitly modded in this. Honestly, "It's modded" is the solution to basically every "There are no [insert thing] in Minecraft!" plot hole ever (I'm looking at you, Winter Morgan's unrealistic command blocks), but... I've seen two books use it, now, and one of them is this.
Nothing ever crashes in this one, making this a case of a Somewhat Misleading Title™.
Minecraft is a videogame, and it's rated: E10+ for fantasy violence. This one has grievous injury as well (car accident).

(Endnote: What if the people in Sunker's Deep and Battlesong cracked into a nuclear isolation facility and didn't know what it was because none of them can read? I see no way that could end horribly.)
Sam. I'm happy to see you reading books other than those about dragons and fantasy! Good job! Grammy
