Review & discussion fodder
What do you think about the science of shape-changing, the need to understand the mind and making of the body you occupy in order to become it?
Do you think it would be more difficult shape-shift to the opposite gender or to an animal? Would the similarity of species hurt or hinder the transformation? How might gender identity effect shape shifting?
Is, as Glyrenden claims, flirtation and seduction a type of spell casting.
Does Glyrenden use magic besides transfiguration and illusion? What sort of illusory magic does he cast on those around him? Is, "the heart of magic illusion"?
Does Lilith's otherness stand out to you, or does she seem just a strange woman? Why is Lilith so convincingly human, particularly in comparison to Arachne and Orion?
How does love effect magic? Both the ability to be changed, and the ability to change.
How does learning to become a tree help Aubrey learn to love Lilith better, and to tip her ability to feel towards him?
Do you think the sheer amount of transformative magic on the land around Glyrenden's home imbued intelligence to the land and creatures?
Do you think the woman of the epilogue is Lilith?
