Discussion Format:

- Where are we in the book?
- Magic System
- Names and Characters

- Meritocracy
- Moral Compromise
- Change from within vs Disruption

- Open discussion
- Gossip, e.g. the author's next work(s)
Discussion etiquette:
Be respectful. Don't hog the mic. Be open to different views. Pretty basic. We'll give you a grade at the end of the session. (Just kidding.)
This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance
