SuitabookAuralia's colors
Jeffrey Overstreet
- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together first, pausing to keep track of the houses, their rules and the characters’ connections; the setting has several groups and political figures.
- Themes
- A gift that crosses boundaries: Auralia grows up outside House Abascar and discovers a forbidden talent for crafting colours that captivates powerful people. Auralia’s gift draws attention and opens doors, placing her between life outside the house and the powerful figures within it.
- Poetic fantasy and narrative distance: Poetic prose and an omniscient narrator shape a story whose plot does not always unfold predictably. An omniscient viewpoint may keep readers at some distance from individual characters, while the plot’s unpredictable turns may be harder to foresee.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes criminals, a child found abandoned, dangerous beastmen, dungeons and threatened violence; consider whether these perilous fantasy elements suit your reader.
