Discuss the book here!

The question to think about is:

In mythology (and mythology-based fiction) the gods tend to use mortals/demigods to fix their problems for them. Cassandra is one such person, a 'key' in a war she doesn't fully understand.

Is Cassandra a heroine? Or is she just another pawn in the god's game?

Feel free to extend the discussion beyond the questions and simply talk about the book as well :D

That's okay, and you're welcome. As for me, I thought that she was definitely a bit of both. The gods called the shots, but in the end Cassandra made her own choices that ultimately decided what her fate would be.
