Jananda Island gives Fushi a new setting where freedom depends on a fighting tournament. This is the entry into an island situation built around confinement, with Pioran's safety tied to Fushi's participation. Readers buying for the next distinct destination can use Jananda as the organizing reason for this book. The tournament is a demand imposed on Fushi, so approach the competition through the rescue problem rather than expecting a voluntary test of skill.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The tournament has a coercive starting point: Fushi must win to save Pioran and obtain freedom. That makes victory a condition of leaving, rather than an achievement he seeks for its own sake. Jananda's population of banished killers gives the demand a social setting as well as dangerous opponents. The useful distinction is between becoming better at a contest and accepting the authority of the people who require it. Fushi has to participate without that participation making the arrangement fair. The island's rules are part of the danger.
