The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms Read Along Part I

[Susan]

Welcome everyone to The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms Read Along! I read this book a few years ago and absolutely loved it. I am thoroughly enjoying rereading it and am so glad that so many folks could joins us to dissect it! http://dabofdarkness.com/2013/12/02/t...

This week we covered Chapters 1-9. Spoilers lurk in dark corners waiting to perform dark deeds on the unwary!

1) We've met our narrator, Yeine. What are your first impressions? Do you like the chosen form of story telling so far?

2) Yeine essentially has two families - the Darre (her father's people) and the Arameri (her mother's people). What do you think of her two halves? Do you think one will win out over the other within Yeine?

3) We meet the Enefa, the enslaved gods. Which do you wish to know the backstory to the most? What do you think of their enslavement?

4) Nahadoth finally catches up to Yeine and his first words and actions are mysteries to her. Gibbering or meaning?

5) We've met the competition for the unspoken throne - Lady Scimina and Lord Relad. How do you think they will complicate Yeine's life?

6) The Enefa obviously want something from Yeine. What do you think that is and how do you think Yeine will react to their wants?
