I still think you're at a bit of a stretch with the magical spirit thing though. I think Lucas is definitely a real human being. I think he is a bit of a Jesus figure - he knows things won't end well for him but he goes to Hale anyway because he knows the people there need someone or something to show them how wrong they are being.
I reckon you should use this for your ILP. Bloodsong or Bloodtide (sorry, can't remember which is the Sigurd one) would be great but probably a lot more difficult to do. Write a review of it though and see how you go!

|comment= Lucas and Cait sound like really inspirational characters, not giving into peer pressure, whilst forming deep friendships. It sounds great.

|comment= i really dont beleive that lucas is a jesus like figure having read the book, i believe that he is just wise in many ways and that he should not be categorized.

|comment= I agree that it's tremendously difficult to categorise Lucas but I also think there are many parallels between his character and Christ - he does not judge, he deliberately puts himself in harms way, he sacrifices himself for the good of others, and the list goes on. There is certainly a 'saviour' aspect to him that I'm sure is directly comparable to Christ.

|comment= This is one of those books that is open to interpretation... It's like high school all over, just a little more extreme. It's one of those books that just captures you. I read it twice in one day and now it's on my favorite books bookshelf.
