- Reading
- Read together if useful, pausing when Creel faces competing loyalties. Invite your reader to explain what each choice might mean to her, without needing to predict how the story ends.
- Themes
- Competing loyalties: Creel’s friendship with the dragon royals and her love for Prince Luka pull her in different directions as she tries to help rescue Velika. The plot frames the rescue and wedding plans around competing personal loyalties; this establishes the dilemma, not a verdict on which bond should come first.
- Worth knowing
- Velika’s kidnapping sets the rescue plot in motion. If abduction or danger to a character is unsettling for your reader, you could check in as the adventure unfolds.
