- Reading
- You could check in when army life or battle scenes arise: ask how the level of detail feels, and pause or read together if your reader wants to.
- Themes
- Loyalty and risk: Minna stows away with the army because she cannot bear to be left behind by Theo, her brother and her friends. Her choice creates the circumstances for an adventure, but the overview does not establish whether the story approves of her decision or explores its consequences in depth.
- Worth knowing
- Battles and brutal army life are part of the story, and Minna faces danger while trying to protect loved ones. The degree of violence and detail is not clear.
