Mm'k, so I was reading this book for a novel study at school, and it had some "thought-provoking questions" at the end of the book. So I, being my creative little self (^^) decided to make some quezzies for you guys, the people who read my story! So, these are meant to be thought about after you've read Book One. You don't have to review with your answers or anything like that - these are just for readers' own purposes. Though I would like to know about that last one...

One of the reasons Rubi wanted to travel with Sesshomaru was to escape her arranged mating. Do you think that's a good enough reason to leave all she's ever known? What would you have done to escape an arranged mating?

Rubi finally realized she loved Sesshomaru after 5 months. Have you ever not known you loved someone until you think about it? Would you personally fall for the Demon Lord?

Do you think Rubi took being invited to the Ball of Powers the wrong way, or did Sesshomaru unknowingly want Rubi to accompany him for romantic reasons? Do you think Rin made a wise decision?

Sesshomaru was quite angry with Rubi when he found out that she was half-demon. Do you think his reaction was warranted? Would you have wanted her to leave like he did?

Daichia was abnormally happy when Rubi met her. Do you think her happiness is important to the plot? Why was she so happy?

Monira's hate of Rubi come mostly from rasicm. What does that say about her character? Some of her anger also comes from jealousy. Rubi travels with Sesshomaru, making Monira jealous, but other than that, do you really think Monira considers Rubi much of a threat? Why or why not?

Most people probably thought Rubi and Sesshomaru would become a couple at the end of this book, so the ending would have come as a shock. Was it surprising? Do you think they will ever get together? What will make that possible?

What did you think about the story in general?

And I promise Book Two is coming this week! Thanks for reading!!!
