3. Why do you think the author wrote this? What is this book’s message?
4. Two characters tell the story alternating chapters. How did this structure work for you? Were both narrators interesting to read or did you prefer one over the other?
5. How realistic was the characterization? Did the actions of the characters seem plausible? Why? Why not?
6. What moral/ethical choices did the characters make? What did you think of those choices? How would you have chosen?
7. Rimma and Angel see themselves as twins. What do you think about their relationship? What was the real relationship between them?
8. Rimma made a number of choices, good and bad. What choices were the most significant in bringing about the conclusion? Would you have made some of the same choices as she?
9. How did the book affect you? Did certain parts of the book make you uncomfortable? If so, why did you feel that way?

Myths of the Mirror 
My question isn’t on the list:) . I am so curious where you got the inspiration to write this book. Do you have dreams, nightmares? Where did the writing of this book originate? A thought? An event? A belief?

Thanks so much for asking! I wrote the book during the Bush presidency (though it applies even more now). I was stressed by what seemed like a callous and short-sighted avarice, a system that worked for the few and left everyone else out. The gist of the book is that no one is exempt from the destruction. We must open our eyes and see without all our protective biases in order to build a new future. So despite all the darkness, there is hope. ❤ Thanks so much for the visit and Happy Reading!
