SuitabookUnthinkable
Nancy Werlin
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after the bargain is introduced. That gives your reader room to talk through Fenella's dilemma before deciding whether to continue independently.
- Themes
- Freedom and harm: Fenella bargains for release through acts directed at her own family, whom she cherishes. The conflict sets personal freedom against care for family, but the outline does not show how the story judges Fenella's bargain or choices.
- A curse across generations: Fenella has watched generations of Scarborough daughters try to break the curse that has trapped her in Faerie. The premise links a long-standing curse with repeated family struggle; how the book develops that history is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes a centuries-long imprisonment, a curse, a wish to die, and a bargain requiring destruction within Fenella's family. These elements may merit a conversation if they feel intense to your reader.
