- Reading
- If the mythological set-up feels unfamiliar, pause to talk through who the Fates and Sidhe are in this story; reading Tattoo first may also make Bailey’s starting point easier to follow.
- Themes
- Responsibility and personal life: Bailey’s role as a Fate gives her responsibility for the world while she faces graduation and uncertainty about her own future. The story brings extraordinary duty together with recognisable teenage decisions.
- Mythological world-building: The book addresses mythological world-building; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The mythology is blended into a fantasy premise rather than presented as a factual account.
- Worth knowing
- The story includes anxiety about friends separating after graduation and a supernatural group described as pursuing what it wants at any cost. The extent or consequences of that behaviour are unclear.
