1) Ellion and Letitia finally have not 1, not 2, not 3, but four trysts in this section of the book. What insights into the characters did you gain from these assignations?
2) Letitia's retinue has diminished even further. How did this affect you as the reader and how do you think it will affect the dynamics of the remaining Tanaan?
3) We've learned a bit more about the missing Carina in this section. What do you think is in her grimoire that has Letitia so secretive?
4) We've heard plenty about how much Ellion's vow not to draw power means to him. But then we also see him finding several ways to feel, tough, smell, and use someone else's power. What do you make of this and where do you think it will take Ellion?
5) Nechton also played a larger role in this section. Which aspect has caught your attentions so far?
6) The mummers were in and out of this section, turning up in city and on the river. What did you make of their antics?
7) So far throughout the book we have gotten maps as we read. How is this working for you as the reader?
My question for Barbara: Secondary and/or side characters can make or break a scene or a book. In building your characters and moving them through the story, what are some of the most important things you kept in mind?
