This weeks questions come from On a Book Bender:

1. In Chapter 6, Atticus goes hunting with Oberon and Flidais. What was supposed to be a fun hunting trip turned rather disastrous. Were you expecting something like this to happen or did it catch you by surprise? Have you ever had something that should have been fun turn disastrous or nearly disastrous? 

Well, the gods/fae tend to be fickle, so I wasn't completely caught off guard. Plus, you knew something was going on the minute Atticus changed into a wolfhound and sensed something amiss. And sure... I've had things ruin a fun trip. Usually it's an illness. :P

2. We are only briefly introduced to the witches (or, a witch) in chapter 7. What are your first impressions? How much would you trust the witches? Why? 

I wouldn't trust the witches in Atticus's world. Too much power and it is too easy for them to become corrupt from that power. I think I would err on caution's side as Atticus does. 

3. Oberon says, “With dogs you just go up and smell their asses and you know where you stand. It’s so much easier. Why can’t humans do that?” Do you ever wish there was an easier way to find out where you stand with someone (besides Oberon’s suggestion, of course)? In what cases would it be easier or better to hide your true feelings?

Hell yes. Oh.. I mean sure. LOL I think people tend to complicate the simple and simplify the complicated way too much. I am guilty of that as well. In what cases? I think when you know the other person is up to something and is trying to find a way to make life more difficult for you. That might in fact be the reason we can't just go up to someone's butt and sniff. Um... can I say ew? :D

4. Chapter 9 makes Atticus’ life much more difficult: the witches are in some way working with Aeghus Og, Bres comes after Atticus, and more trouble appears at the end of the chapter. Have you made sense of what has happened thus far? Any predictions for what might happen?

Sense as in that Aeghus Og wants to make Atticus's life difficult or non-existant. Don't know why yet Aeghus wants the sword. No predictions right now.

5. Atticus has had plenty of time to cultivate attitudes and ethics that would allow him to live a very long time. What do you think it is about Atticus that has allowed him to live for as long as he has?

Caution and a quick wit. I think he also has a finely tuned BS meter. I think that helps when dealing with the supernatural and the normal. :D

Hope you are having fun. The next set of questions will be from Smash Attack Reads
