SuitabookThe revenge of seven
Pittacus Lore
- Reading
- Read it as part of the wider series, checking in after deaths, captivity or particularly tense encounters. Pause to discuss whether revenge changes the characters’ choices, and be prepared for the ending to leave important developments unresolved.
- Themes
- Grief and revenge: Eight’s death leaves the Garde grieving, while Marina’s anger and the wider conflict make revenge a continuing force. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Trust after betrayal: The Garde are divided after Five’s betrayal, while Adam becomes an unlikely ally and Five’s position remains a point of question. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Resistance under pressure: John takes the offensive while the Garde face invasion, military involvement, dwindling numbers and uncertain prospects for victory. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The main points for discussion are loss, betrayal, kidnapping, revenge, military conflict, character deaths, violence and profanity. Suspense is heightened by uncertainty about encounters and by the bleak odds facing the Garde.
