Welcome back for another week of the Masquerade Read Along with Cambria Hebert and five fantabulous bloggers! This week's questions are hosted by Heidi at Rainy Day Ramblings.
Week 3, Chapters 16-24
1. Heven’s mother has
definite ideas about Heven and her scars – what they mean – and their
relationship is strained. Do you think their relationship can be saved?
Unfortunately, no, I don’t think their relationship can be saved. Heven’s
mother’s ideas are too strong and her belief in her own ideas are too strong
for her to see passed them. I think Heven can/will forgive her mom, but I don’t
see their relationship as being close anymore.
2. Sam tells Heven about
how he came to be living on his own, how his parents kicked him out after he
became what he is. He doesn’t seem angry though, he seems to accept it. Would
you be angry? Do you think he should be? I think when Sam was first kicked
out, he was angry and hurt by his parents disapproval. But I think now Sam has
come to accept it because there is no other way for him to live with it. I
think I would be the same way. I would be mad at first, but if there’s no way
to change someone’s mind, you just have to accept it and move on. That is what
Sam did. So no, I don’t think Sam should be angry; I think his time for anger
has passed.
3. During these chapters,
Heven and Sam visit the Inbetween and meet Airis (aka The Hope). Were you
surprised by this series of events? Do you think a place like the InBetween
really exists? Yes, I do think a place like the InBetween does exist, just
as I believe angels like Airis do exist. I was very surprised by this turn of
events; I never expected Heven to die! And to be transformed, her scars removed
and her quest given… a very powerful move story-wise.
4. When Heven’s scars are no longer a part of her and she says “she no
longer recognizes herself” – do you think that the absence of her scar will
change her once more? No. I think she will remember those scars and the
person she used to be. I don’t think being without scars will change her into a
different person or worse, the person she used to be Before the accident.
5. Gran is very accepting of Heven and of Sam. Do you think that she
understands more – knows more than she lets on about Heven’s life or do you
think her love is just unconditional? I think Gran knows a little more than
she’s letting on. Whether she knows about The Hope or just that there is more
to Heven than anyone knows, I think Gran has some knowledge of it. I also think
Gran might know something about what Sam is, but she sees the love between
Heven and Sam and can’t condone it. Plus, Gran has always been accepting of
Heven, Before and now. It’s obvious her love is unconditional.
Happy Reading!

Great post and wonderful answers! I don't know if Gran knows about Sam but I think everyone can see the love he has for Heven and she for him. :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess we will all have to see if Heven and her mom can make up or not....
Lol.
Great answers for one and two. I am holding out hope for Heven and her mother but I may be in the minority. I wasn't expecting the big turn of events either I know my mouth was hanging open when I hit that page. I guess I am also in the dark about Grandma. I had no idea there might be something up her sleeve. Thanks again for participating Erin, hope you are having fun!
ReplyDeleteI was a little shocked that she died too.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers. I do think that the relationship can be saved. The world is full of damaged people and I think that Heven's mother is one of them. She is grasping on to her religion for dear life, warped views and all, and I think that it is a sign of something bigger. I hope that we get to see what that is at some point and see her get it together and fix things with her daughter. It is entirely possible that she is just completely off her rocker though.
