12 July Discussion Questions
Chapters 1-6

1. The 3 Greatcoats were hired as bodyguards. It sounds strange they say torture and making love sounds the same, what do you think? Is it strange they didn't realize earlier what was going on?

I really don't know what to thing of this. They could have realized what was going on beforehand but chose to not say anything.

2. What do you make of the strange errands Falcio had to do for his mother when he was a boy? What do you think is the reason she send him away from the house? Why do you think this is one the childhood memories that is shared with us?

She is doing something for money that she does not want her son to see.

3. Why do you think Bal told Falcio that legend said the Greatcoats wold be back again soon? Was he just trying to entertain a child or did he had other motives? Bal was important to Falcio as a child. Do you think we will see him again?

I think that he is passing on the idea the the Greatcoats are a great order that will come again. Giving the idea to someone young gives them a chance to believe what they wish. I hope to see more Bal but I doubt it.


4. The Greatcoats are called tatter-cloaks because they didn't stand by their king. Even though the kind was said to be a tyrant, people think badly of the Greatcoats. What do you make of this? Why would the Greatcoats not help their king?

I think the even if the king was a tyrant they did swear to serve him. It could have been a direct order that could not disobey.

5. What do you think made Kest pick up the sword when he was twelve years old? Do you think we will learn the reason along the way?

At this time i have no clue. It might have something to do with backstory of Kest as a character or laying or something for future plot. I am hoping to find out in the future chapters.

6. Do you think joining the caravan was a good call? Why would the lady offer to hire them if their leader wins in a 1 to 5 fight?
She is judging their abilities in a way. I do not trust her. So it could be so she can tell what their leaders skills are to give that information to someone.

7. Why does the lady demand them to drop their weapons when the knight and his men want to "prosecute" the Greatcoats? And why do you think sing the song convinced the caravan men to help them?

I think she is working setting them up.


I tried to go with the reading schedule but I was never good at being patient with anything. I am going to finish this book tonight.

Finally in recovery. Nothing like sitting in the sun and cooking illness out of your body. I am also getting a lovely tan.
