- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together first, then check whether the political danger and violence are comfortable to continue with; pause to talk through Frey’s choices if useful.
- Themes
- Identity and self-determination: Frey has been raised to act as Rafi’s double and protector, and faces a choice about continuing that role or assuming her own identity. The premise centres a conflict between an imposed role and the possibility of choosing who to be.
- Family power and sisterhood: Their father raises the twins for contrasting purposes: Rafi to advance family political power and Frey to protect her. The contrasting roles raise questions about family loyalty and the power parents hold over their children.
- Worth knowing
- The extent and detail are unclear.
