- Reading
- Try reading together or checking in after the story’s political and supernatural conflicts. Follow up by discussing which choices seem to open alternatives to further fighting.
- Themes
- Revenge and resistance: Ximena pursues revenge and helps the resistance, while the possibility of overthrowing Atoc without another war complicates her mission. The plot sets revenge against a possible alternative to further war, but does not establish how the story ultimately judges Ximena’s choices.
- Displacement and rightful rule: The Illustrians have been driven from La Ciudad by Atoc, and Ximena’s mission is connected to restoring the true Condesa’s position. The conflict concerns power and the displaced people’s return, but the plot outline does not show how competing claims are treated.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a people driven from their home, a usurper using a relic to summon ghosts, and the prospect of another war; consider how these conflict and supernatural elements may land with your reader.
