Discussion Questions:
- What do you think are the main themes of the book?
- Which of Samarin’s stories did you believe before you found out the truth? Had he convinced you of his good nature just as he convinced everyone else?
- Was the setting described well? Did you feel like you were “there,” or did you have to spend extra effort imagining things?
- Did you enjoy the book? If not, why not – was it writing style, content, or plain disinterest? If so, what did you like most about it?
- Which character did you find yourself rooting for the most?
- What did Samarin mean when he said, “I don’t serve. You know that. I’m a manifestation. Of the present anger and the future love?”
