It might sound silly, but there's tons of evidence that human behavioral patterns are shaped by the weather, with hot temperatures leading to a notable uptick in disharmony.

Tell us how you really feel, Saba. If you thought that the relationship between her and Emmi was tense before, just wait until you see how bad things get after Lugh is kidnapped. Without him to act as a go-between, things get downright nasty.

This is the first big hump Saba has to overcome. It'd be bad enough if she were staking out on her own, but she now has to care for her little sister Emmi, a sister who is likely traumatized by recent events.

After Lugh's kidnapping, Saba struggles to make sense of this eminently confusing series of events. On the one hand, she empathizes with Lugh's rational disposition, believing that there's no way Pa could have actually predicted what happened. But still...he did, didn't he?

This is the one thing Saba can't explain: how did Pa know that there would be men coming for Lugh? No matter how much her rational mind wants to toss it aside as nonsense, she just can't shake this eerily accurate prediction.

Maybe this is what Lugh meant when he said that love makes you "weak." Do you agree with him? Based on just the events in the book, we're not sure if Lugh is right. There are plenty of examples of love making Saba strong, for example.
