SuitabookThe Order of Odd-Fish
James Kennedy
- Reading
- Try the opening together and check whether the blend of absurd humour and sudden peril suits your reader; pause to talk through the party’s disturbing incidents if needed.
- Themes
- Identity and destiny: Jo learns a scandalous truth about herself and may become the destroyer of Eldritch City rather than its hero. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Belonging and home: Jo and Lily join the Order in Eldritch City, and Jo comes to understand what it means to call a city home. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- A shooting occurs at the party, and a cockroach is found tied up and distressed. The plot also signals worsening circumstances and a potentially destructive role for Jo.
