Awaken
Meg Cabot
- Reading
- If this is a new series entry, briefly discuss what the reader remembers about Pierce, John and the Underworld before starting. Afterwards, ask whether the consequences felt fair and why.
- Themes
- Love and permanence: Pierce’s acceptance of John’s love means she would live forever in the Underworld. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Rules and balance: The Furies discover that John has broken one of their strictest rules, and restoring balance may require someone to die. The plot sets personal happiness against an imposed rule and a possible consequence, without revealing which position the story supports.
- Worth knowing
- The book contains profanity and involves threats to happiness and safety, an Underworld setting, and the possibility that someone may die. The intensity and detail of these elements are not established.
