SuitabookSisters of the Sword
Maya Snow
- Reading
- If the family betrayal feels intense, pause to check in and let the reader set the pace. You could also discuss how the sisters' choices relate to the expectations they face.
- Themes
- Gender expectations and samurai training: Kimi wants to become a samurai, while the sisters are told girls do not become samurai; they disguise themselves as boys to train. The premise sets the sisters' ambition against the roles expected of them, but does not show how the story ultimately judges those roles.
- Revenge and family honour: The sisters' stated aim links revenge with restoring their family's honour. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Revenge is central to the premise; consider whether this is a topic you want to discuss with the reader.
