The queen of dreams
Peter F. Hamilton
- Reading
- Try reading together a little at a time, pausing when the story introduces a new realm or ally. Invite your reader to predict what might help the sisters, without needing to guess correctly.
- Themes
- Family and discovery: The sisters’ adventure reveals that their family may not be as ordinary as they thought. The premise makes family discovery part of the adventure, but does not show how the story evaluates it.
- Allies across realms: The sisters need allies from different kinds of people and different points in history during their rescue effort. The need to find allies is part of the quest; how trust or cooperation develops is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a parent being kidnapped and a desperate effort to save him, with the faerie world described as threatened by Darkness. The intensity and resolution are unclear.
