This month’s FYA Book Club selection is Sinner’s Isle by Angela Montoya. Check out the discussion questions below! (Slight spoilers ahead.)

P.S. If you’ve already read the book, feel free to add any other discussion questions of your own in the comments!

Icebreaker

Which Majestic gift would you want to have as your own?

Questions

1. What do you think the Majestics’ powers represent? What parallels did you draw between their world and ours?

2. What did you think of the villains? Were they over the top or the appropriate amount of evil?

3. Rosa and Mariano: did you ship it? (Pun fully intended!)

4. What do you think about the concept of heartsongs?

5. Even though most of the story takes place at the palace, Angela Montoya created a vast world beyond its walls – both on land and at sea. Was there anywhere or anything you wanted to read more of?

6. Which reveal(s) caught you by surprise? Which ones did you see coming?

7. Channel your inner Juana: what are your predictions for the future of Kingdom of Coronado? (There’s currently no planned sequel, so this is just for rampant speculation!)
