- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after the opening conflict, then ask what the characters believe is at stake; the later resolution is not clear.
- Themes
- Power, tribute and retaliation: The Golden People rule the Khentors and take women as tribute; the taking of Nai triggers a force associated with fiery vengeance. The premise labels the taking a vicious act of greed, so this practice is framed critically. How the wider story treats the retaliation is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The premise signals possible large-scale destruction, but the detail and consequences of the capture and vengeance are unclear.
