The first metaphor I see in the book is on page 2. It says that, as Kira watched her mother's spirit drift away, she could also see the "cindered fragments" of her childhood going up as well. Obviously, her childhood had not been burned and made into fragments. So this is a metaphor that is meant to show that her childhood is over.
Then, on page 27, we see Vandara say that Kira drags her leg around "like a useless burden." That's a simile because it uses the word "like" to directly compare two things.
As for themes, there are many, but you can argue that the most important one is the theme of how important creativity is -- that is why the Council of Guardians takes all the creative kids and controls them.
