Three ways that Amari has changed through the book is, her attitude towards Zelie and Tzain. I mean this in a way of respect and love, she now considers Tzain as her partner and Zelie more of a new Binta which is very hard too believe from where they started off wanting too kill each other too becoming a very strong team. My second explanation is Amari has completely broken out of her shell from being a shy and very quite and unphased girl too a warrior fighter basically overnight really has shaped her and her attitude towards the reality of the life outside of the palace. Lastly Amari’s learned whilst being with Tzain and Zelie and meeting all the effected diviners and maji that her fathers vision is horrible and evil, she was able to get past his crazy lifestyle and realise she can build her own future and decide on her own what she needs and wants to do.

Blog post: Our group's chosen character is Amari, we decided on this particular character because of her changes throughout the journey of bringing magic back and so on. From being this shy broken girl too becoming an absolute warrior has been a very amazing transformation for Amari, having too betray her royal family for the safe sake of magic and the diviners have really given her the opportunity to show her own potential and brush off that horrible attitude and mindset her fathers pushed on her for her whole life. Including convincing her brother that he doesn't have to be like their father King Saran, they can choose their own pathway.

Chapter 66 Response

 Chapter 66 – Inan

Father stands in his night robes, scanning a faded map. No sign of hatred. Not even a hint of disgust.
For him, carving MAGGOT into a girl’s back is just another day’s work.
…
In that instant it hits me: Zulaikha’s death. Zélie’s screams. They don’t mean a thing to him. Because they’re maji, they’re nothing.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is that the father doesn't care about the people that he has killed because they killed his family.
Think about how the word ‘maggot’ is used. This is a slur. Do we have these in real life?

My wondering is why the king is hurting her own daughter?
