SuitabookTheft of Dragons
John Forrester
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then check in about the murder and pursuit before deciding whether to continue independently. The book is the start of a series, so its ending may leave threads open.
- Themes
- Power and rule: King Braxion rules citizens and neighbouring kingdoms ruthlessly and uses spells to control dragon nobility. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Freedom and hidden identity: Sebine hopes to escape the palace and discover the truth about her father, while studying sorcery in secret. Her search for independence and identity is part of the plot; the story's judgement of her choices is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes the murder of Tael's parents, an ongoing assassination threat and ruthless rule. Consider whether these dangers suit the reader; their detail and intensity are unclear.
