For supplemental discussion material see our Beyond the Book article, Veronica Roth: A Case Study in How Authors' Drafts Change and our BookBrowse Review of Seek the Traitor's Son.

Please be aware that this discussion guide will contain spoilers!

These are original discussion questions written by BookBrowse.

1. Would you risk being truly killed by the Fever for the chance of gaining an ability? What ability would you want? Is there an ability you would not want?
2. Did you guess that Rava Vidar wasn't actually "the living vessel of ancient warriors"? Do you think she'll admit to her true Fever ability in the next book, or will Elegy have to find another way to fulfill the prophecy?
3. Elegy meets an augur who mentions previously looking at genetic markers to try to determine what Fever-given ability individuals would develop. Do you think that research will make an appearance in the next book? Where do you think Talusar got the technology for genetic sequencing?
