The novel is narrated from Sera’s first-person perspective. How does this perspective affect the presentation of Nyktos, the Shadowlands, and Iliseeum? Note three important discoveries that Sera makes about her new home and analyze how they contribute to world building in the novel.
When Attes calls Sera a pretty “accessory,” Sera bursts into anger, threatening to kill the Primal if he so demeans her again. Why does Sera particularly despise being called an accessory? Illustrate your answer with examples from the text.
Nyktos tells Sera that she should not have sought to kill him since it endangered her life. Sera asks Nyktos what else could she have done: “Kicked the can down the road for someone else to deal with […] or just do nothing and let my kingdom die?” (163). What does Sera mean here? What do her statements say about the nature of choice?
