We're getting very close to the publishing date for The King of Attolia now, but Caroline found a great page full of great discussion questions for The Queen of Attolia, so we figured a new thread would be the best place to discuss them - and to ask other burning questions, like 'Who was the Goddess at the end of TQoA?', or to just speculate on the upcoming book.

They can all be found here: http://www.harpercollins.com/global_scripts/product_catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=0380733048&tc=rg



So let's start off with an some interesting ones which haven't really been talked about.

When Eugenides retreats to the library in internal exile after his injury, describe his state of mind and how he views himself in relation to the Eddisians. Why is he so embarrassed, and how do these feelings resurface when he realizes the magnitude of his decision to become king of Attolia?

This could perhaps relate to:

What is Eugenides’ reaction when he is informed that Eddis declared war on Attolia in his name? Does this change his relationship with Eddis? Does he like being called a “sacred relic, a hero” (p.133) in the eyes of the people of Eddis?

I picked these because I figured we've talked about the Gods, and Gen's relationship with Irene a fair bit. Do you guys have any thoughts on his relationship with Eddis, and how that might change in KoA?



Also, everyone check out the continuously updated Spoilers thread for more teasers and summaries. :)
