We also learn a lot more about the dragons. Which dragon was your favorite? Did anything you learned about the dragons and their culture surprise you?

Which rider and dragon pairing had the best dynamic?

Choice is a throughline in this novella. Dragons choose riders, riders choose dragons (like Dain choosing his own dragon instead of the one his father wanted), and characters choose when to follow the rules or break them. Which choices stood out to you, and why?

We learn more about Garrick and Imogen’s signets and how they reflect their feelings for each other. Do you relate at all to Imogen’s desire to protect herself by keeping Garrick at arm’s length?

Based on this novella, do you have any new theories about what might happen in the next book in the series?

Overall, did Threshing Day feel necessary and consequential, like fluff or filler, or something in between?
