Day 15: Discussion Questions

Whether you've read, are reading, or plan to read Segolia: Daughter of Prophecy, here are some discussion questions for you. They could be used for families, classrooms, book clubs, whatever you want.

1. If you could meet any character in Segolia: Daughter of Prophecy, which one would you want to meet and why?
2. Edgeshifter healed a young elven soldier, which is the cause of her exile. Was this the right thing to do? Why or why not?
3. Why do you think Alistair helps Edgeshifter the first time she was imprisoned in Idari?
4. How has Nissa changed since the beginning of the book? Has she become a hero for Segolia?
5. In the maze, Nissa and Edgeshifter get separated and Nissa is forced to make a difficult decision. She allows herself to get caught to protect the staff. Do you think this was a good decision? What would have happened if she hadn’t run?
6. Rhiannon hates her skin color, though others think it’s beautiful. Do things like that happen in the real world?
7. Fireheart never gave up on her dream of being a warrior, despite what others thought about it. How can we learn from her example?
8. Fendrel lost his eyesight a few years ago. Why do you think bad things happen to good people?
9. If Edgeshifter had agreed to help Stormblast kidnap Nissa, what would have happened?
10. Deepclaw, in the beginning, was convinced that the fighting would continue forever. Do you think he was right? Why or why not?
11. If you were Rylan, would you have pushed Nissa out of the way of Stormblast’s lightning, fully knowing you could potentially die?
12. If you had the opportunity to become a Guardian, would you? Why or why not?
13. The enchantress said that Nissa’s power comes from her good heart. Is that like the real world? Do we hold power based on our hearts?
14. Do you think the elves and dragons could have chosen to stop fighting on their own? Why or why not?
15. What is the symbolism of having six Guardians and six dragon partners?
16. What are some common themes in Segolia: Daughter of Prophecy?
17. Each Guardian and each dragon partner have a message that we can learn from. For example, Rhiannon’s is that it doesn’t matter what you look like, everyone is beautiful. Can you name some others?
