SuitabookTreason of Thorns
Laura E. Weymouth
- Reading
- Check in as you read about whether the house’s grief and the damage around it feel affecting or intense; pause to talk together if those parts are difficult.
- Themes
- Attachment and responsibility: The book addresses attachment and responsibility; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. Her attachment and effort to help are part of the premise; the story’s broader judgement of her choices is not established.
- Treason and exile: Violet has spent seven years in exile after her father’s treason, which is said to have changed life at Burleigh. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Grief and destructive magical effects are part of the premise: the house is described as grieving, and its magic ravages the countryside. The extent and vividness of these scenes are unclear.
