The Seven Year King
Kiki Hamilton
- Reading
- If your reader has not met the series before, consider starting with an earlier instalment; this book is identified as number three. Pause to check in around the threatened sacrifice and near-death peril.
- Themes
- Belonging between worlds: Tiki is pulled between two worlds and cannot find peace in either. The conflict places belonging and unsettledness at the centre of Tiki’s situation, but its resolution and the story’s view of her choices are unclear.
- Sacrifice and peril: The UnSeelie Court must pay a tithe to Seelie royalty; Donegal plans to sacrifice someone Tiki loves. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a planned sacrifice, a character near death, a disappearance and an approaching liche. These perilous elements may merit attention if such material is difficult for your reader.
