- Reading
- You could read a little together first, then check in after the tragedy is introduced. Continue independently or together according to how the story feels to your reader.
- Themes
- Revenge and responsibility: Will considers leaving the Ranger Corps to punish those responsible for a tragedy, then faces a choice between that pursuit and saving innocent lives. The plot places revenge and protecting others in tension, but does not establish how the story ultimately judges Will’s choice.
- Apprenticeship: Will is asked to train a rebellious, unwilling apprentice. The relationship creates a challenge for Will, but the outline does not show how either character develops or how the arrangement works out.
- Worth knowing
- A tragedy, a desire for revenge and a criminal plot are part of the story. The nature and intensity of the harm are not specified.
