V. E. Schwab, Julieta María Gorlero
- Reading
- Try the opening together if the supernatural danger is a concern, then check in as the mystery develops. You can pause to discuss whether the suspense feels enjoyable or uncomfortable.
- Themes
- Violent Histories and danger: Mackenzie is a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping, and nearly died in an encounter with one. The premise establishes danger but not whether the book presents Mackenzie's role or the violence as admirable, troubling or otherwise.
- Nightmares and recovery: After the previous summer's encounter, Mackenzie struggles to get her life back, and nightmares begin to intrude into waking hours. The premise presents recovery as difficult but does not establish what helps Mackenzie or how her experience is ultimately portrayed.
- Worth knowing
- Violent supernatural beings, a near-fatal encounter, disappearances, nightmares and possible loss of memories or life feature in the premise. The intensity and detail of these scenes are unclear.
