The Warden and the Wolf King
Andrew Peterson
- Reading
- Because this is a concluding volume, discuss the earlier books first if needed. Read in shorter sections around battles or separations, and pause to explore the map, illustrations and invented names.
- Themes
- Courage under threat: Janner, Kalmar and Leeli are willing to fight alongside the Hollowsfolk as enemies invade and the characters face monsters and villains. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Family and separation: The children are separated by the invasion, while other characters care for Artham Wingfeather during the conflict. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Good and evil in fantasy conflict: The book addresses good and evil in fantasy conflict; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The conflict is presented through a recognisable good-versus-evil framework, with named enemies and a threatened community at its centre.
- Worth knowing
- Expect battle preparation, an invasion, fighting, threatening creatures and characters in peril or separated from one another. A character is described as broken, while another carries a terrible secret; the details remain unspecified.
