Renzo is the man of the house since his father was killed, which means he has the responsibility to take care of his mother and sister. While doing his best to provide for them, Renzo knows that they won't survive if he stays a drudge. In order to become an apprentice and have a future, though, he has to pass a glass blowing test and that will be impossible without help. Renzo can either follow the rules and fail, or risk the consequences and save his family. Where does duty lie?
The struggle Renzo faces is real, and that's what makes his story a page-turner. It seemed like the book could have ended halfway through, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it continued on without feeling forced. In fact, the second half was even better than the first, and the ending was very satisfying.
