Violence: There are two types of rebels. The North and the South. Southern rebels are very dangerous and will kill anyone who get in there way, and the North. The north arn't nearly as dangerous and simiply just seem "as if there looking for something." Some of the girls get into a small fight, but nothing major.

Romance: The worst that happens in this book is kisses really. Nothing major happens other than that.
