What was your favorite scene in the book?

I liked the quest the best. It added excitement to the tale.

I liked the scene in the library the best. It sounds so beautiful and mysterious, the way it is described. I wish I had a library like that in my home. ;)

The whole adventure to get to Olàm Shonè was quite thrilling, but I particularly enjoyed the confrontation with the spiders. I definitely wouldn't like to be in their shoes fighting giant spiders though!

I agree! Except for the creepy spying eyes everywhere. :shock:

Oddly, I really liked the scene where Will talks to the Boy in the mirror. There was something melancholy about it for me but also something like a bit of relief in the midst of danger.

My favorite scene in the book is when Will notices that the rope around Wolfea's neck is rubbing sores, and gentles her down to remove the rope. Why he then ties it around her belly, I have no idea.

Lol I'm guessing because she hasn't been "domesticated" yet and it was acting as a leash of sorts. I dont think anyone else would have appreciated her running wildand free, especially after the show she had just given them!

That was an interesting scene for me because it was at this point that I was of the opinion that domesticating Wolfèa was somewhat cruel and uncalled for. I tried to imagine the reaction should I attempt such a feat in our realm.

That is why I felt like Wolfèa should never have been a pet in the Orphanage. It would have been better if Will slept somewhere (not necessarily outside) next to Wolfèa.
