My post in response to Susan's question is here: http://barbarafriendish.wordpress.com...
1) Ellion has quite a mystery on his hands with yet the third assassination attempt. The assassin is the same dude, and once 'dead', he proceeds to disappear once again. What do you make of this elusive, reappearing, dead guy assassin?
2) Throughout this section, Ellion and Amien have several exchanges of words. Did you have the urge to ask them politely, yet firmly, to step out back and settle the matter for the duration of the trip?
3) The Tanaan suffered a great loss in the past, calling it The Deluge, believing it to have been brought upon them by a wrathful goddess. Do you believe this Deluge was due to a goddess striking a disobedient people? What could the Tanaan have done to warrant such action?
4) The Tanaan are use to fighting in tourneys, one-on-one, and not in formations with team goals. How do you think they will take to Ellion's attempts to school them in real combat tactics?
5) Letitia has been wearing her mother's diamond on her torc, which turns out was a gift from Amien. He crafted it himself and says it is a tool. What kind of tool do you think it is?
6) What is up with the Tuaoh Stone having a strong reaction to Ellion?
My question for Barbara this week: You have used language throughout the book as a way to sew culture clash, create bonding, and swear creatively. How did you go about building the various languages into your story?
