In Chapter Twenty-Three, Viv confronts Chumana and says she is not worthy of forgiveness and is incapable of helping the rebels. Through Chumana’s own confessions, Viv learns that perhaps despite the bad things she has done, she is still a good person. What do you think after spending the majority of the book in Viv’s mind?
Now that Viv has told Sophie the truth of what happened all those years ago, do you think Sophie will do something terrible in retaliation? What do you think she will do?
Viv also believes that Wyvernmire’s dragons will turn on her once they learn the truth of the Bulgarian dragons coming to Wyvernmire’s aid. Do you think the dragons of Britannia will rise up against their queen and Wyvernmire?
Viv makes her way down to the hatchling where she confronts Lumens. Things seem to be going smoothly… too smoothly. Between Viv and Atlas, they seem to be pulling together a solid plan. Do you think this plan will be successful?
Will they be able to find a dragon who will foster the stolen eggs?
Do you think Karim and the dragon eggs will make it out of Bletchley Park before the Bulgarian dragons arrive?
In Chapter Twenty-Six, things go a bit topsy-turvy. While destroying evidence in the greenhouse, Ralph stumbles upon our young rebels and Dr. Seymour. Ralph takes Atlas and Viv the Ravensloe where he encourages Ralph to torture Viv. Only for the torture session to be interrupted by Prime Minister Wyvernmire. In her hands, she has Viv’s younger sister Ursa. Do you think the Prime Minister and her team will be successful in getting the answers from Viv before the rebel dragons arrive?

1. I think she is a good person and she wants to be a good person, she is just being selfish and going about it in the wrong way. I think her conversation with Chumana helped her realise that no matter what you do you cannot live in the passed and you can always try atone for you sins.
2. I think she will. I think she will sabotage any plans Viv has of escaping or helping the rebels.
3. I do think so. I think they will realise the extent of their betrayal and turn against them.
4. These plans never go smoothly in all the stories I have ever read. I definitely think something will go wrong with the plan.
5. No because it will reveal the secret of echolocation if they do.
6. Yes I do. I think the focus will be on Viv and another main character getting out so I think that this side part of the plan will be successful.
7. I think that with Ursa in her grasp she will get the answers she wants. The only way Viv will keep it to herself is if she somehow manages to get Ursa back and protected.

1. I think that Viv is a desperate teenager, who has had to make decisions that adults struggle with. I think that she did the best with what she had and she made decisions based on the limited experience and information that she had. She is not a bad person and she deserves forgiveness.
2. Yes, I think she will. I’ve been thinking that she might give the Dragon Code to Wyvernmire to try and outdo Viv and prove a point. Or she’ll split Viv for what she did and ruin her future.
3. I don’t think they’ll have another choice – when they find out how corrupt their leaders are, they will stand with the rebels I’m sure.
4. No, I think there will be unforeseen hitches. Someone is going to get hurt.
5. If they can find a dragon that trusts them, maybe. I was thinking they’d probably ask Chumana.
6. I don’t know, I have a feeling that Karim never made it to Chumana, but it’s just a hunch.
7. Yes – she would do anything to protect her little sister. -
I can understand why Viv has done all that she has as she has only ever been told to follow the rules, make sure she does well at school and pass her exams. So to some extent, this thought process has been ingrained in her resulting in her being selfish and a rule follower or I guess a coward. I do believe Viv is a good person and she’s always done things with good intentions. She just has bad judgement of how her actions may affect others.
Depsite Sophie being wronged she doesn’t seem like the type to do something malicious. But also one may argue that her time as a Third Class has changed her – Charlie dying, going to prison etc. When taking this into consideration I can see Sophie retaliating by siding with President Wyvernmire. I dont necessarily think Sophie will go to the extent of killing Viv though.
Once the dragons of Brittania learn that their own Queen has betrayed them, they will turn on her and President Wyvernmire. I dont see how they wont as their livelihood is at stake.
The plan is going too smoothly and it seems a bit suspicious. I think something will happen to hinder their progress.
It might be difficult to convince a dragon to foster the orphaned eggs but not impossible. I hope they are able to find a dragaon because poor little babies.
The Bulgarian Dragons are only supposed to arrive in Bletchley Park in a days time so I do think Karim will make it out alive before they arrive.
Viv now knows better than to just give away the secrets of the Koinamens so I think she will be clever about how much information she gives to Wyvernmire and Co to help pass some time and to keep her sister, Ursa, out of harms way.

1. I believe Viv is a good person. Her intentions are always good, but she is easily manipulated.
2. I think she will tell Weyvenmire she solved the echolocation puzzle.
3. I believe they might. They may also be like the humans under the impression that the peace agreement is sacred but through enough proof they may be persuaded.
4. No, the first plan in a book always fails.
5. I think they will.
6. Yes I believe so, but I think the rest of the characters will not be so lucky.
7. Viv will most likely want to give up the secrets to save her sister because her sister is the most important to her. -

1. Viv is good person despite her flaws and mistakes that she’s made in the past, she has good intentions and it shows with her family and remorse.
2. I think being in such a high emotional state Sophie could retaliate, but I hope I’m wrong.
3. Yes because this is betrayal.
4. Although their plan seems promising, I just have a hunch that it won’t (for the plot).
5. Fostering stolen eggs!!?? I think it’s going to be a challenge for them. -

6. I think they will.
7. Definitely if Dr Seymour blackmails Viv with Ursa, she will give in. -

Last few chapters of this adventurous read.
Viv is a good person, maybe an annoying indecisive person but still a good person who has just done some bad things. I mean she is human after all and people do make mistakes or do the wrong thing but it doesn’t make them a bad person.I think after Viv telling Sophie what she did to her, I don’t think Sophie will do anything nasty to Viv, it seems that Sophie has stopped harbouring hatred towards Viv.
I hope the dragons of Britannia will rise up against their queen and Wyvernmire, because in the end the dragons always seem to say they don’t serve humans so if they don’t believe in what Wyvernmire is doing why should they stay if their lives are at risk.
I think the this plan Atlas and Viv talk about will be successful to an extent, as plans in these cases hardly ever go according to plan and that things might change but I think the base of their plan will work it just might change with how they execute it.
I think it will be difficult to find a dragon to foster the stolen eggs because of the echolocation secret but I do hope that eventually there is a dragon that trusts them that will be able to foster the eggs.
Yes I do think Karim and the dragon eggs will make it out, because the Bulgarian dragons are only due to arrive later.
I think the Prime Minister and her team will be successful in getting the answers from Viv before the rebel dragons arrive as Viv’s weakness is her sister, she cares so much about her, but I think Viv is strategic and will only give half truths or not tell the full truth or even bargain a way out of this for her sister.

I think overall, Viv is a good person who has only wanted what is best for her family, even if it meant sacrificing her best friend. While her actions were wrong, her intentions were good. She was a young girl, who was manipulatesd by an adult (Mistress Morris). She did her best within her circumstances. Chumana has reminded her that what ever happened in her past, she can always say sorry and continuously prove that she is sorry, but she cannot wallow in guilt.
Yes I do think Sophie will get her revenge.
Yes they absolutely will once they learn of their Queen and Wyvernmyers betrayal.
Nothing has gone smoothly, so no, I don’t think their plan will be as easy as it sounds. Something will happen to them along the way.
I hope it will be Chumana.
Yes I do think so. He will pass by unnoticed.
Yes I do. Viv would not let a single thing happen to Ursa.

1. Viv suffers from a massive guilty conscience, and this blinds her from seeing the bigger picture. I think she is inherently good, but selfish and kind of an unintentional unreliable narrator.
2. I think Sophie might forgive Viv for what she did. She comes from the same upbringing as Viv and can relate to the pressures of the class system demotion has on a young person.
3. I think so yes, it feels like the dragons have a moral code that the betrayal won’t be taken well.
4. 50/50, there is bound to be something that doesn’t go according to plan.
5. I don’t think so.
6. I friggen hope so!!!
7. Yes, we know that family is Viv’s soft spot and its going to be manipulated to its fullest extent. -
Michaela (read.along.with.me)
1) I think that Viv has her heart in the right place but she is just a teenager who doesn’t know any better and chooses to do things out of desperation and survival.
2) I think she will tell the prime minister about the cracking the code to spite Viv and safe herself.
3) Yes because they were betrayed. They will turn against them out of survival.
4) No nothing ever goes according to plan. Maybe Sophie might snitch on them as retaliation.
5) it’s going to be hard to find a dragon to foster the eggs especially because of how crucial echolocation is for their development.
6) Yes I think he would be able to get away but it will be a struggle.
7) yes, Viv cares too much about her sister to let anything happen to her so she definitely might give up all the information she has in return for her sister’s safety.

Through Chumana’s own confessions, Viv learns that perhaps despite the bad things she has done, she is still a good person. What do you think after spending the majority of the book in Viv’s mind?
That she is riddled with guilt over what she has done.
Now that Viv has told Sophie the truth of what happened all those years ago, do you think Sophie will do something terrible in retaliation? What do you think she will do?
I am unsure, but I’d of punched her myself.
Viv also believes that Wyvernmire’s dragons will turn on her once they learn the truth of the Bulgarian dragons coming to Wyvernmire’s aid. Do you think the dragons of Britannia will rise up against their queen and Wyvernmire?
Like all things, some will and some won’t.
Viv makes her way down to the hatchling where she confronts Lumens. Things seem to be going smoothly… too smoothly. Between Viv and Atlas, they seem to be pulling together a solid plan. Do you think this plan will be successful?
Girl… is there plans ever?
Will they be able to find a dragon who will foster the stolen eggs?
If it is about the mother’s sounds, then maybe not. However, if any dragon can adopt on the babies then yes?
Do you think Karim and the dragon eggs will make it out of Bletchley Park before the Bulgarian dragons arrive?
HELL NAH, that would be too convenient!
In Chapter Twenty-Six, things go a bit topsy-turvy. While destroying evidence in the greenhouse, Ralph stumbles upon our young rebels and Dr. Seymour.

All I know is that this Ralph guy gotta go like 72 chapters ago.
