SuitabookCyndere's midnight
Jeffrey Overstreet
- Reading
- This can make space to discuss the suicide reference and grief without assuming how either is resolved.
- Themes
- Conscience and violent impulses: The book addresses conscience and violent impulses; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The conflict creates an opening to consider how intentions and actions can differ.
- Grief and reaching out: Cyndere is grieving Deuneroi, who was killed by the people he sought to help; she later reaches out to Jordam and they form a cautious bond. Their bond brings grief and attempts to help others into the same story.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes a husband’s death, a widow’s grief, beastmen described as bloodthirsty, and a deadly assault threat. Cyndere’s opening choice also raises the possibility of suicide.
