Do you feel Talib sees Hotan as a second chance with his old brother or a fresh start with a new brother?
Do you think Hotan was more afraid of what he had done or that Talib would find out?
Who do you feel was the primary reason for the disaster that happened? Death or Rebirth?
What mistakes do you think Talib made in the past that impacted the present?
How has Talib changed over time? What events do you think aided in him changing or staying the same?
A few events in this book are historically inspired. Which one do you feel captures that history best? Did you discover something new?
Do you think the old Hotan is cleaning up his mess and truly making amends by the end of the book? Who do you feel he owes the most?
Why do you think the author chose to represent a strange cycle of old Hotan begets Iapetos who begets new Hotan? Do you think this compliments the idea of Rebirth as Life begets Death which begets Life renewed?
How impactful is it to see and experience the past through Talib and his tribulations? Would seeing this through a different character have made a significant difference in how the past was experienced?
When Talib discovers Lucius, do you feel he was lonely or at a turning point in his life? How do you feel Lucius impacts this moment with his tragic event?
