Tempestuous (Wondrous Strange #3)
Lesley Livingston
- Reading
- If this is a first encounter with the series, consider starting with the earlier books; otherwise, pause to discuss how the characters’ relationships have changed as the finale unfolds.
- Themes
- Protection, honesty and love: Kelley is told to deny loving Sonny in order to protect him, and she tries to bring him back. The conflict may invite discussion about whether protection can justify withholding the truth, but the synopsis does not establish the book’s judgement.
- Power and danger to Faerie: Someone seeks Sonny’s unknown power, while Janus Guards are being recruited to hunt innocent Faerie lethally. The plot raises questions about the use of power and threats to a community; its wider stance and resolution are not established.
- Family and belonging through theatre: Kelley wants to help rebuild a shattered theatre company that she regards as family. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a murderous hunt targeting innocent Faerie, romantic heartbreak and a character being deceived to protect someone. The extent or detail of these scenes is unclear.
