Digging in
- 1.Feyre grows up caring for her family through hard winters. When has quietly looking after the people you love felt like your own kind of quiet bravery?
- 2.The story glows with sensory richness, warm firelight, painted colors, lavish meals. Which described comfort made you most want to step right into the page?
- 3.Feyre finds unexpected warmth in a place she first feared. Has a person or place ever surprised you by feeling like home when you least expected it?
- 4.Painting is Feyre's way of holding onto beauty and hope. What is your own little ritual that keeps your heart steady when life gets heavy?
