SuitabookIron hearted Violet
Kelly Regan Barnhill
- Reading
- Try the opening together or discuss it after the first discovery. This can help you gauge whether the mystery and the threatened escape feel engaging or unsettling to your reader.
- Themes
- Unconventional princess: Violet is described as plain, adventurous and unusually clever, in contrast with most fairy-tale princesses. The premise foregrounds a princess who does not fit a familiar fairy-tale mould, but how the book treats that contrast is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The premise involves an evil being, a forbidden tale and possible escape or defeat. The level of menace, danger and how the conflict resolves are not clear.
