The Inheritance Games

One of the book’s central themes is the risky nature of keeping secrets. Choose an example in which a character in the book opts for secrecy and explore the negative repercussions.

One hallmark of The Inheritance Games is the way deceased people drive the narrative. Analyze how the dead control the actions of the living, using concrete examples (Tobias, Emily, Avery’s mother).

In addition to the primary plot of the “inheritance game” mystery, the book includes a romantic subplot. Why would the author choose to incorporate the love triangle? What does it add to the book?
