FEED spoiler party!

Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.

Game on!

If it helps at all, I had the same response when I realized what was happening, and that there was no way out. Seriously. I had "alive or dead, the truth won't rest" and "rise up while you can" on icons from the beginning of the writing process, and I didn't know that I was quoting. Her death snuck up on me, and there was no way out.

I cried when she died. I cried during revisions. I cried when I read the ARC looking for errors. I'm sort of glad everyone else is crying now, because it means I'm not mourning her alone.

The next one comes out next May.

I think that's why I *don't* hate you for this--because I know how much you love and feel all your characters, and that whatever you're going to do, you're going to feel it as hard and even more personally than we do. *sunny smile* You're not just torturing us to get our attention, or killing off characters in order to jerk other characters around.

No, really, I respect that a lot. And also I know how it feels. (Oh, hellmuses.)

They like to make us squirm.

Yes. Yes they do.
