- Reading
- Read a little at a time if useful, pausing after intense scenes to check how the violence or sexual situations are landing for your reader.
- Themes
- Disguise and identity: Alexa disguises herself as a boy to serve in the army and joins the prince’s guard. The disguise is central to her route into military service, but the story’s judgement of it is not established.
- Power and resistance: An evil king rules Antion; Alexa must find a way to defeat him and protect Prince Damian. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The book is noted as containing graphic violence, profanity and sexual situations. Their extent and detail are not clear, so consider checking in as you read together.
