SuitabookThe Tournament at Gorlan
John Flanagan
- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together, then pause to track who is seeking power and what the Rangers hope to achieve. This can help clarify the political strands.
- Themes
- Power and political scheming: Morgarath seeks the throne, while the Baron of Gorlan pursues a plan to gain the Council of Barons’ trust. The schemes drive the conflict, but their broader treatment is not established.
- Duels and conflict: The annual tournament includes a series of bitter duels that the Rangers must fight and win. The duels are presented as part of the climactic conflict; their treatment beyond this is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a threatened coup, a dangerous mission and bitter duels. Consider whether those kinds of conflict are a good fit for your reader.
