The Broken Kingdoms Read Along Part II

[Susan]

Welcome Everyone! this week begins the read along for Book 2 in N. K. Jemisin’s The Inheritance Trilogy. Anyone is welcome to join us and this trilogy lends easily to popping in when you like as each book is a stand alone story set in the same world, a mosaic trilogy I think is the term.

This week we covered Chapters 5-10. Join us here or see what the bloggers thought at: http://dabofdarkness.com/2014/01/13/t...

Spoilers run free below!

1) We learned some tidbits about Oree's father in this section. Who, or what, do you think he was and what do you think of the suspicions about mob madness that Lady Serymn brought up?

2) Shiny has some stern views about the relationship between Oree and Madding. What do you think of him testing her love for Madding? Do you think she said yes to Madding for the right reasons?

3) The House of the Risen Sun has some followers with skills. What do you think of the holes, The Empty, and what has happened to Oree's friends, both mortal and immortal? Shiny?

4) Are the ambitious plans of the House of the Risen Sun justified? Noble? Or is there a particular follower you already want to seen tossed into The Empty for a spell?

5) Lord Dateh, the Nypri, requested a bit of Oree's blood for study. What do think he will do with it and what part do you think the House of the Risen Sun hopes Oree to play in their plans?
