This is a board to chat or rant about how Grisha abilities/science is explained in the series...or rather NOT explained. BOOK ONE ONLY**
Let talk...
What are the different categories of Grisha Abilities and how would you describe them in your own words? Why do some people have these abilities and some don't (is this ever set up in this world? Where these powers come from?) Describe the dichotomy between the way Grisha and average people/soldiers are treated in this world. Why do you think this is? What does "like calls to like" mean and how can this theme be applied in other instances outside the explanation of Grisha magic. Why does Alina struggle to call her power when she is first training? How does she finally overcome this obstacle? What changes in Alina once she is able to harness her power? What is an amplifier? How does it work? Why is it important that the darkling is an amplifier?
LOL ALSO... How can Alina have so much control over her power after only training for a short period of time, when the other Grisha have been training their entire lives? She just DECIDES that she can use her power and she just DECIDES that she will be in control her amplifier (even though the rule of an amplifier is that it belongs to the person who kills it??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.)
Please add any other questions or thoughts on abilities only up to book one so far.
