SuitabookThe eyes of a king
Catherine Banner
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in after the major turn, then discuss how the two storylines connect. The ending and the extent of Leo’s difficulties remain unclear.
- Themes
- Magic and state power: People who show magical ability are considered enemies of the state, and Leo resists his own powers. This sets up a conflict between personal ability and political authority; the outline does not establish the story’s judgement of either.
- A book linking stories: A blank book reveals family secrets, Malonia’s history, and a story about Ryan and Anna in a parallel universe. The book connects personal and wider histories, but its significance and reliability are not established in the outline.
- Worth knowing
- Leo’s life takes a tragic turn, and he begins to lose touch with reality. These elements may merit attention if your reader finds such material unsettling.
