Pennyroyal Academy
M. A. Larson
- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together first, then check in after the training or conflict becomes more intense. You can continue independently if the tone feels manageable.
- Themes
- What makes a princess?: At the academy, Evie learns what it truly means to be a princess. The story raises questions about the meaning of princesshood, but its eventual answer is not clear.
- A personal war: As witch forces draw nearer, Evie discovers that the war connects to her more personally than she expected. The personal connection may complicate the conflict, but the nature of that connection and the story's stance are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- War, combat training and approaching enemy forces are central to the set-up; harsh discipline and cruelty are also mentioned. The intensity and detail of these elements are unclear.
