The Tale of the Blood Diamond

by Laveen, Tiana

  11. Initially, one may have believed the title ‘Blood Diamonds’ was inspired by the Yuledrakes’ drug dependency on the gems. Once the reader continues on with the story, it is discovered that ‘blood diamonds’ refer in fact to the gift Xzion had given his mate, Jayme due to her being his mate, having his child, and because of her fighting skills. What is the significance of the diamond and the symbolism involved?

  12. Lorenzo is a complicated character, a product of his warped environment. He is a catalyst that ties in one character from the first book, Preacher, into this book. Through him, we get to see the underbelly of the world we live in, that of illegal drug dealing, murders and prostitution and the fates of some of those enmeshed in that lifestyle. What did you learn from Lorenzo’s character?
