There are many kinds of love in this moving story, from family loyalty and friendship to patriotism, but what really preoccupies the two central characters, Arianne and Luc, is the passion and agony of first love. Every other action, every other desire in this book, is weighed against this all-encompassing emotion, and its effect on the lives of everyone around them is profound.
If you enjoy historical novels about young people living through dramatic and world-changing events, try [[Crusade by Elizabeth Laird]], set in the Middle Ages, or [[Prisoner of the Inquisition by Theresa Breslin]], which takes place in fifteenth-century Spain. They are both excellent.
