From Quiz Trickster's Queen

Answer: Books, writing paper and pens

Sarai adores horses, riding and grooming. She has a bad temper but is nice. She bores easily (so does Aly). Sarai also enjoys flirting and kissing boys. Dove is very clever for a twelve year old and loves reading. She usually has to go riding with Sarai, but prefers being in the library reading.

27. Aly has a special gift. What is it?

From Quiz Tricksters Choice

Answer: The Sight

Aly's sight allows her to see things at great distance; poison, illness, magic, godhood, death, and lies. It is put to great use throughout the book. I wish I had the Sight.

28. Nawat is Aly's love interest; what was Nawat before he became a man?

From Quiz Trickster's Queen

Answer: a crow

Well, I almost gave this question away! When I typed it up the first time I put Nawat Crow, well thats a bit of a giveaway. Anyway, Nawat is indeed Aly's love interest, he is more like a crow with human habits and a human body. He is supposed to be very handsome though.
