Modeling a great student-teacher relationship, the great Archimedes guides her, assuring her that math is not something she can cordon off or that one needs to be a STEM genius to master- "Math is everywhere and everything involves it." Math and science equal magic, and this concept played out alongside myth, mystery -- plus tribal council and hierarchical politics -- creates a compelling read. Overall, n this new alternative world, themes of the role of destiny, power, emotions, rebellion, dreams and self direction are presented in a rich, satisfying way.
I loved the language in the book, too--war stories can be hard to write and this strikes a nice balance of strategy, procedure and vivid battle scenes. We have a real sense of the high stakes through the characters. In all a great read that will leave YA fans ready for more. ( )
