- Reading
- You could discuss how understanding Aina’s circumstances differs from approving of her actions, and how her parents’ teachings and Kohl’s lessons shape her choices.
- Themes
- Violence and survival: The book addresses violence and survival; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Moral responsibility: Aina’s parents taught her to value life, while Kohl teaches survival; her actions and loyalties shift as she seeks a future of her own. The book presents competing or mixed signals about this.
- Poverty, persecution and power: The city’s social divisions and conflict over magic, religion and technology shape the dangers around Aina and the people living there. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Aina’s parents were murdered, and their teachings remain important to her. Romance is suggested, but is secondary; the extent of romantic content is unclear.
