My thoughts: This was my second read of THE LABYRINTH’S ARCHIVIST and new things stood out to me this time around that I’m interested to discuss. As a novella, it’s a very quick read but I was left wanting more this time around!
Discussion Questions:
What did you think of this book? (How many stars did you rate it?)
What was your favorite part of the book?
What was your least favorite part?
Did you guess the murderer?
What did you think of disability representation?
What did you think of the romance?
Besides the mystery and fantasy elements, what do you think the overall message of the novella was? Did it work for you?
Is there anything you would change about the book?
Bonus question: If there was a sequel, what would you like to see happen?
