  • What do you think about what's going on at Sorrow's End?
  • Was Leetah right to bump Cutter's arm?
  • What was the most interesting part of the Wolfriders' origin story for you?


And, since things have slowed down, a repost of the generic potential-discussion-questions:

  • What event(s) surprised you?
  • What scene was most memorable?
  • How would you like to see this issue explored in fanfic or fanart?
  • What did you wish had been different?

  • Did this issue bring you any new insights about the world of two moons?
  • Did you like the opening & closing artwork?
  • Was there anything interesting in the letters section?
  • If you've read the series before, what did you dislike then and find yourself liking now, or vice-versa?
Note: These aren't mandatory questions; they're meta prompts. If you don't care for any of them, or want to tangent from them to some other topic, that's fine too.

Oh, I love the art, especially during Leetah's conversation with Winnowill. The Wolfriders' origin story really made an impression on me the first time I read it and I still don't think I have seen anything quite like it. The weird racist tone in Winnowill's contempt of the Wolfriders seems to fit in quite well with the isolationist and conservative people the Gliders have become at this point, too.

The revelation of the Wolfriders' mortality still makes me sad, not for them but for Leetah, who will probably eventually see her lifemate and children die. I was quite young when I first read this (maybe 9, I think) so I didn't really understand that part at first, and IIRC I was more surprised that the other elves were immortal :)
