Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How was Three Sisters Island created?

Answer: Magic made it move out to the sea.

Ah yes, the answer that would seem obviously wrong if you've never read the books. The three sisters actually created it during the times of the Salem Witch Trials, to have a safe place to go where they wouldn't be persecuted. We're first told this in "Dance Upon the Air," but it's said in the other two books as well.

2. In "Dance Upon the Air," where do Nell and Zach meet?

Answer: At Cafe Book

Nell has just started working there, and is behind the counter when they first see each other. Although they take an immediate interest in each other, Nell takes a long time to work up the courage to date him.

3. Although various characters suspect parts of it, who is the first person Nell tells her life story to?

Answer: Mia

We hear Nell's story in "Dance Upon the Air." It's about escaping an abusive husband by faking her own death and creating a new identity, and is a testament to her courage and strength.

4. What is the first spell in "Dance Upon the Air" that Nell tries alone?

Answer: healing a plant

She figures that if it goes wrong, she can't hurt anything, as the plant is almost dead already. She needn't have worried however, as she succeeds wonderfully.

5. How does Mac first get Ripley over to his house in "Heaven and Earth"?

Answer: He wins a bet.

He beats her in a swimming race, where the bet was he got one hour of her time if he won, and if she won he'd stop hitting on her. It really irritates her when he wins, as no one ever beats her at swimming.

6. The first time we see Ripley intentionally use magic in "Heaven and Earth," what does she do?

Answer: Heals Mac's wrist

She doesn't have control of her power, and harms him by accident when she gets mad. She intentionally heals the marks she made, telling him that her doing that is off the record.

7. Ripley could have sacrificed her life to save the others and complete her part of the spell.

Answer: true

We learn in "Face the Fire" that any of the ladies could have sacrificed themselves for the others, and completed their part of the spell.

8. When Sam joins the circle in "Face the Fire," we see Water invoked for the first time in the trilogy.

Answer: False

In "Heaven and Earth," the three sisters each invoke their respective elements. Mia is Fire, Nell is Air, and Ripley is Earth. They then join together and invoke Water. "We are the Three, we call to Water, stream, and sea..."

9. According to Mac in "Face the Fire," what does Mia's part of defeating the evil involve?

Answer: Either of these

Mac tells Sam that she could choose to accept, without malice, what she used to feel for Sam, and move on. Sam doesn't like this way of solving things, as he wants her back.

10. Each lead woman in the books is seen as a daughter of one original sister. Nell is ___? Ripley is ___? Mia is ___?

Answer: air earth fire

The original Three Sisters are those elements, in fact we never hear them called by any other names. We're introduced to Water, the traditional fourth element, when Fire finds a silkie (a shapeshifter who can be a seal or a man) and marries him. Thanks for playing!
