Themes:

One major theme is this book is a similar fight to what is going on in parts of the world. The Mogs want the Lorian's planet for resources. I fell like the author takes the issues in the world.

Another theme is love. In any teen fiction story love happens. The author does a good job in this book about not making it the main theme but one of the lesser ones.
