Rebel Wing (Rebel Wing #1)
Tracy Banghart
- Reading
- Before reading, acknowledge that combat and gender-based exclusion are central. Afterwards, discuss whether Aris’s disguise expands her choices, limits them, or does both, without assuming the book resolves that tension.
- Themes
- Gender and military power: Women are assigned civilian roles while men are selected for military service; Aris conceals her identity to become a pilot. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Love, duty and changing purpose: The book addresses love, duty and changing purpose; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- War and personal cost: Aris moves from watching the war at a distance to flying missions, rescuing injured people and surviving violent battles. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Expect wartime danger, injured people and violent battles, alongside concealment of identity and unequal treatment based on gender. Romance is present, but the ending and its emotional consequences remain unclear.
