Vega and the fashion disaster
Shana Muldoon Zappa
- Reading
- Pause when the different Starling Academy problems are introduced and map what each character wants. Near the ending, revisit whether Vega’s investigation changes her understanding of responsibility or friendship.
- Themes
- Responsibility under distraction: Vega is sent on a mission while dealing with tensions at the academy and questions about her Wisher. The premise places responsibility beside personal distraction, but does not show whether the book praises obedience, flexibility or another response.
- Relationships amid uncertainty: Vega is frustrated with Piper, while another Wisher is secretive and Scarlet cannot be located. The story sets up strained and uncertain relationships, but it is not clear whether misunderstandings are resolved, challenged or left open.
- Worth knowing
- Their intensity and resolution are unclear.
