Dancing

[Mahak Sharma]

Dancing had always been a way to celebrate and bring people together. It makes us forget our fears and enjoy ourselves. Maybe, that's what Vidius was doing by making his soldiers dance and fight. In that way, the soldiers became fearless and coordinated with each other.

I think the dancing was an excellent way to highlight the priorities of the Riva Rohavi being focused on freedom and self-expression. It also made for an extremely chilling climax, the juxtaposition of the act of dancing against the act of bloody murder was horrifying

[Josephe-Anne]

Maybe dancing is its own type of magic. As you mentioned, the Riva Rohavi use dancing to energize themselves for battle. It could also just be a form of mental and physical exercise or even a ritual. Clearly, there is more to dancing than just enjoyment in Voulhire.

I think the act of dancing, especially by the Riva Rohavi, is similar to a battle cry. In some tribes, there are war dances, songs, etc. Basically, a way of boosting morale for battle.

I got confused when king Welhelm said the Voulhire is progressing because people here like to dance. But later in the book, I realized he was talking about the production of magic through dance. I really like the concept of dancing. I guess it's just the way to focus for mages.

[Widade Assaly]

I think dancing is used by the rebels to intimidate the opponents. It is a way to encourage themselves.

[Gideon Olomofe]

I was also trying to justify why dancing was included without celebration at all. I like this question.

And I will like to say that probably the author just wanted to make a surprising turn in the book—an high level of thriller.

It might not necessarily mean that the author can dance. But he may love watching people dance.

[Asja Šabani]

I loved this detail in the book and I am glad you mentioned it. I think the power of the dance lies in connecting the energetic and physical dimensions of the body into a unified entity.

[Olomofe]

Though I've never thought may be Tysz loves to dance and that's why he includes dance In all his book. While i was this book, I felt the author seeks to make his story humorous and hilarious and that's why he made worriors dance Into war. As this is odd to see warrior dancing while on attack on the enemies, it is a thrilling features

[Phooko Tebogo PC]

I have also been asking myself the same thing. maybe indeed there is a secret behind the dancing which we are yet to discover in the continuation book of this one.

Funny, I thought the dance at the hall was for entertainment or celebration. But from the setting of this book Voulhire has a deep culture associated with music and ritual which i think dancing is one of them.

[Sarah J Callen]

I really enjoyed the inclusion of the dance throughout the book. I didn't expect it, but it brought some interesting vibrancy to the story. It's another example of his truly impressive creativity.

[IbrahimOtegbade]

His use of dance is somewhat strange. Why would an army be dancing as they fight? It euphemisms the idea of invasion and brutality. Perhaps, it is used as a comic relief to ease the tension of the story, of the deaths that occur during the invasion.

[Reema Aydieh]

I think it's related to how the magic in this world works. As if dancing is a way to be more in control. But it also has a connection to the culture of the fantasy world of Voulhire.

Maybe he just likes dancing or maybe he views dancing as an important dance of the Voulhire culture. I was fascinated by the dancing soldiers and it reminded me of the Indians sun dance where the dancers dance with pegs in their body and only stop dancing only when the pegs are ripped from their body. It was a little bit scary imagining that
