Hero's Song (The Songs of Eirren #1)
Edith Pattou
- Reading
- Read a little at a time and pause when the danger escalates. This leaves room to check how your reader is responding without assuming how frightening or intense the scenes are.
- Themes
- Courage and self-doubt: Collun considers himself a coward but sets out to search for his missing sister. The setup places self-doubt alongside action, but does not establish how the story evaluates courage.
- Personal search and kingdom conflict: Collun's search for Nessa becomes connected to a struggle to save Eirren from conquest by Medb, the Queen of Ghosts. The plot frames conquest as a threat to the kingdom; the conflict's fuller treatment is not known.
- Worth knowing
- A sister has disappeared, and Collun faces increasing dangers and forces described as evil. These elements may be worth discussing if separation or peril is a sensitive subject for your reader.
