Parent notes

Parents should be aware that this book fits within a larger fantasy framework centered on elvin magic, telepathy, and supernatural abilities. While it emphasizes positive character traits like sacrifice and loyalty, the themes of difficult family backgrounds and emotional isolation offer great opportunities for conversation about identity, grace, and finding strength in supportive community.
