The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms Read Along Part III

[Susan]

Welcome back everyone! Little Red Reviewer is our host this week, so make sure to swing by her place to see what everyone else thinks. http://littleredreviewer.wordpress.co...

This week we covered Chapters 17-22 and we covered some incredible stuff! So beware the spoiler-full discussion questions below!

1. T'vril takes Yeine to the servant's party. What did you think of that party, and of Sieh's part in it?

2. Yeine presents herself as such a nice, compassionate person. Did your feelings about her change after the meeting she and Nahadoth had with Gemd?

3. on page 230 we learn about the Darre concept of "esui", of attraction to danger. Have you ever experienced Esui? did it help you, or hurt you? Do you think it will help Yeine, or hurt her?

4. What did you think of the reveal regarding Ygreth's (Kinneth's mother) death? Was it something you expected? How does being forced to do something like that (or knowing you'll be forced to) shape a person?

5. If I'm reading it correctly, the ceremony can require a human sacrifice (to show that the heir is strong enough to kill anyone, if asked). Who might Scimina sacrifice? Who might Yeine sacrifice?

6.The ball is only a few days away. What do you think will happen?
