- Reading
- As the second book in a trilogy, it may help to check whether your reader knows the first instalment. Pause at the academy and discuss what M’s uncertain role might mean before the clues resolve it.
- Themes
- Changing from criminal training to law and order: M and friends come from a school where children of master criminals train, and may try to become champions of law and order. The premise raises the possibility of changing allegiance, but the synopsis does not establish how the story judges that change.
- Trust and freedom at the academy: M joins the Fulbright Academy but may be a student or a prisoner there. The uncertainty is part of the setup; how the academy treats M is not established.
- Worth knowing
- The central danger is a weapon said to threaten all life on Earth. The synopsis does not describe how this threat is shown or how intense its scenes become.
