SuitabookThe Sorcerer of the North
John Flanagan
- Reading
- As you read, pause when the story raises suspicions about sorcery or loyalty. Ask what is known, what is rumour, and what remains uncertain before drawing conclusions.
- Themes
- Duty and friendship: Will must choose between loyalty to his mission and loyalty to Alyss after she is taken hostage. The dilemma is central to the plot outline, but the story's judgement of Will's choice is not established.
- Rumour and political trust: Will investigates fears of sorcery and who may be plotting against the king. Rumour and suspicion drive the investigation, but the story's broader view of these fears is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Poisoning the king and taking Alyss hostage are part of the plot. These threats may merit a check-in if peril to characters is a concern for your reader.
