SuitabookThe iron order
Matthew Bruce Barr
- Reading
- Try reading the opening together, pausing to distinguish the stories Brannoch has heard from the danger he faces now. Revisit how his understanding changes as he meets his protectors.
- Themes
- Stories, choice and the coming conflict: Brannoch is fascinated by old war tales and carries those stories with him as he flees a threat to his home; they may have a role in the coming battle. Brannoch’s stories and personal choices offer a way to consider how the past might inform action in the coming conflict.
- Worth knowing
- The central threat is serious: Brannoch runs for his life while a conqueror threatens the realm. Consider whether peril and imagined battles feel engaging or unsettling for your reader.
